The NIHSI comprises data on admitted patient care services (in public and private hospitals), emergency department services and outpatient services in public hospitals for all states and territories with the exception of Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
The NIHSI also includes data from the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS), Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (RPBS), Residential Aged Care services data, National Death Index (NDI) and Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) data will be included from mid-2023.
