This report describes variations in admission policies and practices and how these differences may be impacting on national data on admitted patient care in Australia’s hospitals. For the reporting period 2013–14, hospital admission practice variation was greatest for short-stay, same-day admissions, with data consistency and comparability relatively good for overnight patients.
