Australian Hospital Statistics 1999-00 is the latest in the Institute's series of reports providing annual summaries on characteristics of Australia's public hospitals and on the hospital care of the nearly six million people admitted annually to public and private hospitals in Australia. Information on Australia's hospitals includes the numbers of hospitals and hospital beds, and key statistics on the resources, expenditure and revenue of public hospitals and on the services they provide. Data on a range of hospital performance indicators are also reported, using the nationally agreed framework for public hospital performance indicators. Detailed statistics are also presented on the characteristics and hospital care of admitted patients, including the age, sex and diagnoses of people admitted to hospital and the procedures they underwent. Information on all reported procedures and external causes of injury and poisoning are reported for the first time.

Cost weight information for 1999-00 became available after the publication of Australian Hospital Statistics 1999-00. The following tables have been
updated using the 1999-00 cost weights. In addition, the supplementary Internet tables S10-S17 have been updated. Morbidity data were updated for the ACT and NSW
resulting in an increase in the number of separations for these jurisdictions. The updated tables also reflect this change. All tables in chapter 5 and chapter 10
have been included for completeness.

Data originally supplied by the New South Wales Health Department for some non-admitted patient occasions of service were inadvertently omitted from the
publication. They are included in the updated version of
Table 4.3: Non-admitted patient occasions of service, by type of non-admitted patient care, public acute and psychiatric hospitals, States and
Territories, 1999-00
Table 3.4: has been corrected as the version of the table published on the Internet was incorrect.
Table 3.4: Number of hospitals and available beds per 1,000 population by metropolitan, rural and remote region, public acute and psychiatric hospitals,
States and Territories, 1999--00
The release of the publication Private Hospitals Australia 1999-00 (ABS Cat no 4390.0) and the availability of other data from ABS's Private Health
Establishments Collection has allowed updates to be made for the following tables:
Table 2.6: Number of hospitals and available beds by sector and accreditation status, States and Territories, 1999-00
Table 3.1: Summary of hospitals, Australia, 1995-96 to 1999-00
Table 3.2: Number of hospitals and available beds by hospital sector and type, States and Territories, 1999-00
Some expenditure data that were provided late by Tasmania and New South Wales have been incorporated in the following tables. In addition, changes to Tables 2.3,
2.4 and A5.1 have been made because some newborn episodes of care with qualified days were not included in the original counts of separations (weighted or
otherwise) used for hospital peer grouping. This made the average costs appear higher than the correct number. The largest effect was on the
Specialist women's
and children's hospitals, which have the highest proportions among the peer groups of separations being newborn episodes with qualified days. The peer
grouping of five hospitals also changed with the correct counting of newborn episodes of care with qualified days. Two hospitals changed from Large metropolitan to
Principal referral in New South Wales. In Queensland, one hospital changed from Medium 5,000-10,000 to
Specialist women's and children's
and one hospital changed from Medium 2,000-5,000 to Medium 5,000-10,000. In Victoria, one hospital changed from Small rural acute to Medium
2,000-5,000. More recently admitted patient cost proportions for some hospitals in Western Australia have been updated. A correction to assumptions about
Northern Territory data was also made. It was assumed that superannuation data for the Northern Territory had been omitted but in fact it had been included in other
expenditure categories. The tables updated due to these corrections were:
Table 2.1: Cost per casemix-adjusted separation, selected public acute hospitals, States and Territories, 1999-00

Supplemental tables
Supplemental versions of table 2.7 standardised to the June 2001 rather than the June 1991 population and additional information on overall utilisation in a
similar format can be found here
These supplemental tables were prepared to allow time series analysis as data in later publications is standardised to the June 2001 population. This table also
contains some methodological changes and information on overall utilisation in a similar format. For details on the methodology see chapter 4 in
Australian Hospital Statistics 2001-02
