Data set specification, acute coronary syndrome (clinical),: National Health Data Dictionary version 12 supplementNational health data dictionaryData Set Specifications (DSS) are metadata sets that are not mandated for collection but are recommended as best practice. It is recommended that, if collecting data for purposes of primary patient care, planning or analysis, the entire DDS be collected. This metadata set is primarily concerned with the clinical use of acute coronary syndrome data. While the use of this standard is voluntary, it should be used by health and health-related establishments that create, use or maintain, records on health care clients. The Acute Coronary Syndrome (Clinical) DSS aims to ensure national consistency in relation to defining, monitoring and recording information on patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome.

Secondary prevention and rehabilitation after coronary events or stroke: a review of monitoring issuesCardiovascular disease seriesCardiovascular disease poses a heavy burden on the health of Australians. Coronary heart disease and stroke are its most costly manifestations, in terms of deaths, disability and health system costs. Risk factors for heart disease and stroke remain very common among Australians, including those with established cardiovascular disease. For the latter in particular, it is imperative to try and prevent further cardiovascular events. This paper identifies gaps and deficiencies in our knowledge in relation to secondary prevention and rehabilitation after coronary heart disease and stroke, including incidence, interventions and outcomes at a national level and suggests possible solutions.
