Health sector data set specifications from METeOR, Australia's repository for national metadata standards, developed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (http://meteor.aihw.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/345165) Surveillance of healthcare associated infection: Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia DSS The purpose of this data set specification (DSS) is to support a comprehensive surveillance program of healthcare associated infections (HAI). HAIs are those infections that are not present or incubating at the time of admission to a healthcare program or facility, develop within a healthcare organisation or are produced by micro-organisms acquired during admission. This DSS is intended to support Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) surveillance in Australian hospitals. It is designed for the purposes of HAI surveillance, not diagnosis. The value of surveillance as part of a hospital infection control program is supported by high-grade international and national evidence. This DSS supports development of local forms and systems for surveillance of HAIs and associated data collection. This DSS applies to patient episodes of SAB in Australian hospitals. Case Definition – Healthcare associated Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) A patient-episode of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) is a positive blood culture for Staphylococcus aureus. For surveillance purposes, only the first isolate per patient is counted, unless at least 14 days has passed without a positive culture, after which an additional episode is recorded. A SAB will be considered to be a healthcare-associated event if: EITHER • CRITERION A. The patient’s first SAB positive blood culture was collected more than 48 hours after hospital admission or less than 48 hours after discharge. OR • CRITERION B. The patient’s first positive SAB blood culture was collected less than or equal to 48 hours after hospital admission and one or more of the following key clinical criteria was met for the patient-episode of SAB: 1. SAB is a complication of the presence of an indwelling medical device (e.g. intravascular line, haemodialysis vascular access, CSF shunt, urinary catheter) 2. SAB occurs within 30 days of a surgical procedure where the SAB is related to the surgical site 3. SAB was diagnosed within 48 hours of a related invasive instrumentation or incision 4. SAB is associated with neutropenia (Neutrophils: less than 1 x 109/L) contributed to by cytotoxic therapy In order for jurisdictions and private hospital ownership groups to accurately report and monitor Healthcare Associated Infections, the data elements listed should be collected at hospital level for each patient-episode of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia.

Person (name)—family name, text X[X(39)] Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Family name Synonymous names: Surname; Last name METeOR identifier: 286953 Registration status: Housing assistance, Standard 20/06/2005 Health, Standard 04/05/2005 Tasmanian Health, Draft 23/07/2012 Community Services (retired), Superseded 06/02/2012 Definition: That part of a name a person usually has in common with some other members of his/her family, as distinguished from his/her given names, as represented by text. Data Element Concept: Person (name)—family name Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Text Data type: String Format: X[X(39)] Maximum character length: 40 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The agency or establishment should record the person's full family name on their information systems. National Community Services Data Dictionary specific: In instances where there is uncertainty about which name to record for a person living in a remote Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community, Centrelink follows the practice of recording the Indigenous person's name as it is first provided to Centrelink. Or, where proof of identity is required, as the name that is recorded on a majority of the higher point scoring documents that are produced as proof of identity. Collection methods: This metadata item should be recorded for all persons who receive services from or are of interest to an organisation. For the purposes of positive identification, it may also be recorded for providers of those services who are individuals. Mixed case should be used. Family name should be recorded in the format preferred by the person. The format should be the same as that written by the person on a (pre) registration form or in the same format as that printed on an identification card, such as a Medicare card, to ensure consistent collection of name data. It is acknowledged that some people use more than one family name (e.g. formal name, birth name, married/maiden name, tribal name) depending on the circumstances. Each name should be recorded against the appropriate Name type (see Comments). A person is able to change his or her name by usage in all States and Territories of Australia with the exception of Western Australia, where a person may only change his or her name under the Change of Name Act. Care should be taken when recording a change of name for a minor. Ideally, the name recorded for the minor should be known to both of his/her parents, so the minor's records can be retrieved and continuity of care maintained, regardless of which parent accompanies the minor to the agency or establishment. A person should generally be registered using their preferred name as it is more likely to be used in common usage and on subsequent visits to the agency or establishment. The person's preferred name may in fact be the name on their Medicare card. The Person name type metadata item can be used to distinguish between the different types of names that may be used by the person. The following format may assist with data collection: What is your family name? _______________________________________ Are you known by any other family names that you would like recorded? If so, what are they ___________________________________________________ Please indicate, for each name above, the 'type' of family name that is to be recorded: (a) Medicare card name (if different to preferred name). (b) Alias (any other name that you are known by). Whenever a person informs the agency or establishment of a change of family name (e.g. following marriage or divorce), the former name should be recorded as an alias name. A full history of names should be retained. e.g. 'Mary Georgina Smith' informs the hospital that she has been married and changed her family name to 'Jones'. Record 'Jones' as her preferred family name and record 'Smith' as an alias name. Hyphenated family names: Sometimes persons with hyphenated family names use only one of the two hyphenated names. It is useful to record each of the hyphenated names as an alias. If the person has a hyphenated family name, e.g. 'Wilson-Phillips' record 'Wilson-Phillips' in the preferred family name field and record 'Wilson' and 'Phillips' separately as alias family names. Punctuation: If special characters form part of the family name they should be included, e.g. hyphenated names should be entered with a hyphen. Examples: - hyphen, e.g. Wilson-Phillips Do not leave a space before or after a hyphen, i.e. between the last letter of 'Wilson' and the hyphen, nor a space between the hyphen and the first letter of 'Phillips'. - apostrophe, e.g. O'Brien, D'Agostino Do not leave a space before or after the apostrophe, i.e. between the 'O' and the apostrophe, or a space between the apostrophe and 'Brien'. - full stop, e.g. St. John, St. George Do not leave a space before a full stop, i.e. between 'St' and the full stop. Do leave a space between the full stop and 'John'. - space, e.g. van der Humm, Le Brun, Mc Donald If the health care client has recorded their family name as more than one word, displaying spaces in between the words, record their family name in the same way leaving one space between each word. Registered unnamed newborn babies: When registering a newborn, use the mother's family name as the baby's family name unless instructed otherwise by the mother. Record unnamed babies under the newborn Name type. Persons with only one name: Some people do not have a family name and a given name, they have only one name by which they are known. If the person has only one name, record it in the 'Family name' field and leave the 'Given name' field blank. Registering an unidentified person: The default for unknown family name should be unknown in all instances and the name recorded as an alias name. Don't create a 'fictitious' family name such as 'Doe' as this is an actual family name. When the person's name becomes known, record it as the preferred family name and do not overwrite the alias name of unknown. Registering health care clients from disaster sites: Persons treated from disaster sites should be recorded under the alias Name Type. Local business rules should be developed for consistent recording of disaster site person details. Care should be taken not to use identical dummy data (family name, given name, date of birth, sex) for two or more persons from a disaster site. If the family name needs to be shortened: If the length of the family name exceeds the length of the field, truncate the family name from the right (that is, dropping the final letters). Also, the last character of the name should be a hash (#) to identify that the name has been truncated. Use of incomplete names or fictitious names: Some health care facilities permit persons to use a pseudonym (fictitious or partial name) in lieu of their full or actual name. It is recommended that the person be asked to record both the pseudonym (Alias name) in addition to the person's Medicare card name. Baby for adoption: The word adoption should not be used as the family name, given name or alias for a newborn baby. A newborn baby that is for adoption should be registered in the same way that other newborn babies are registered. However, if a baby born in the hospital is subsequently adopted, and is admitted for treatment as a child, the baby is registered under their adopted (current) name, and the record should not be linked to the birth record. This should be the current practice. Any old references to adoption in client registers (for names) should also be changed to unknown. Contact your State or Territory adoption information service for further information. Prefixes: Where a family name contains a prefix, such as one to indicate that the person is a widow, this must be entered as part of the 'Family name' field. When widowed, some Hungarian women add 'Ozvegy' (abbreviation is 'Ozy') before their married family name, e.g. 'Mrs Szabo' would become 'Mrs Ozy Szabo'. That is, 'Mrs Szabo' becomes an alias name and 'Mrs Ozy Szabo' becomes the preferred name. Ethnic Names: The Centrelink publication, Naming Systems for Ethnic Groups, provides the correct coding for ethnic names. Misspelled family name: If the person's family name has been misspelled in error, update the family name with the correct spelling and record the misspelled family name as an alias name. Recording misspelled names is important for filing documents that may be issued with previous versions of the person's name. Discretion should be used regarding the degree of recording that is maintained. Comments: Often people use a variety of names, including legal names, married/maiden names, nicknames, assumed names, traditional names, etc. Even small differences in recording - such as the difference between MacIntosh and McIntosh - can make record linkage impossible. To minimise discrepancies in the recording and reporting of name information, agencies or establishments should ask the person for their full (formal) 'Given name' and 'Family name'. These may be different from the name that the person may prefer the agency or establishment workers to use in personal dealings. Agencies or establishments may choose to separately record the preferred names that the person wishes to be used by agency or establishment workers. In some cultures it is traditional to state the family name first. To overcome discrepancies in recording/reporting that may arise as a result of this practice, agencies or establishments should always ask the person to specify their first given name and their family name or surname separately. These should then be recorded as 'Given name' and 'Family name' as appropriate, regardless of the order in which they may be traditionally given. National Community Services Data Dictionary specific: Selected letters of the family name in combination with selected letters of the given name, date of birth and sex, may be used for record linkage for statistical purposes only.

All given names should be recorded. The agency or establishment should record the person's full given name(s) on their information systems. National Community Services Data Dictionary specific: In instances where there is uncertainty about which name to record for a person living in a remote Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community, Centrelink follows the practice of recording the Indigenous person's name as it is first provided to Centrelink. In situations where proof of identity is required, the name is that recorded on a majority of the higher point scoring documents that are produced as proof of identity. National Health Data Dictionary specific: Each individual Given name should have a Given name sequence number associated with it. Health care establishments may record given names (first and other given names) in one field or several fields. This metadata item definition applies regardless of the format of data recording. A full history of names is to be retained. Collection methods: This metadata item should be recorded for all clients. Given name(s) should be recorded in the format preferred by the person. The format should be the same as that indicated by the person (for example written on a form) or in the same format as that printed on an identification card, such as Medicare card, to ensure consistent collection of name data. It is acknowledged that some people use more than one given name (for example formal name, birth name, nickname or shortened name, or tribal name) depending on the circumstances. A person is able to change his or her name by usage in all States and Territories of Australia with the exception of Western Australia, where a person may only change his or her name under the Change of Name Act. A person should generally be registered using their preferred name as it is more likely to be used in common usage and on subsequent visits to the agency or establishment. The person's preferred name may in fact be their legal (or Medicare card) name. The Person name type metadata item (see Comments) can be used to distinguish between the different types of names that may be used by the person. The following format may assist with data collection: What is the given name you would like to be known by? _______________________ Are you known by any other given names that you would like recorded? If so, what are they _____________________________________________________________ Please indicate the 'type' of given name that is to be recorded: (a) Medicare card name (if different to preferred name). (b) Alias (any other name that you are known by). Whenever a person informs the agency or establishment of a change of given name (for example prefers to be known by their middle name), the former name should be recorded according to the appropriate name type. Do not delete or overwrite a previous given name. For example 'Mary Georgina Smith' informs the hospital that she prefers to be known as 'Georgina'. Record 'Georgina' as her preferred given name and record 'Mary' as the Medicare card given name. Similarly the establishment is informed that 'Baby of Louise Jones' has been named 'Mary Jones'. Retain 'Baby of Louise' as the newborn name and also record 'Mary' as the preferred 'Given name'. Registering an unidentified health care client: If the person is a health care client and her/his given name is not known record unknown in the 'Given name' field and use alias Name type. When the person's name becomes known, add the actual name as preferred Name type (or other as appropriate). Do not delete or overwrite the alias name of unknown. Use of first initial: If the person's given name is not known, but the first letter (initial) of the given name is known, record the first letter in the preferred 'Given name' field. Do not record a full stop following the initial. Persons with only one name: Some people do not have a family name and a given name: they have only one name by which they are known. If the person has only one name, record it in the 'Family name' field and leave the 'Given name' blank. Record complete information: All of the person's given names should be recorded. Shortened or alternate first given name: If the person uses a shortened version or an alternate version of their first given name, record their preferred name, the actual name as their Medicare card name and any alternative versions as alias names as appropriate. Example - The person's given name is Jennifer but she prefers to be called Jenny. Record 'Jenny' as the preferred 'Given name' and 'Jennifer' as her Medicare card name. Example - The person's given name is 'Giovanni' but he prefers to be called 'John'. Record 'John' as the preferred 'Given name' and 'Giovanni' as the Medicare card name. Punctuation: If special characters form part of the given names they shall be included, e.g. hyphenated names shall be entered with the hyphen. • Hyphen, for example Anne-Maree, Mary-Jane Do not leave a space before or after the hyphen, that is between last letter of 'Anne' and the hyphen, nor a space between the hyphen and the first letter of 'Maree'. • spaces, for example Jean Claude Marcel Moreaux If the person has recorded their given name as more than one word, displaying spaces in between the words, record their given names in data collection systems in the same way (that is Jean Claude is one given name and Marcel is another given name). Names not for continued use: For cultural reasons, a person such as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander may advise that they are no longer using the given name they previously used and are now using an alternative current name. Record their current name as their preferred given name and record their previously used name as an alias name (with a Name conditional use flag of ‘not for continued use’). Composite name: If a person identifies their first name as being a composite word, both parts should be recorded under the first Given Name (rather than the first and second Given Name). If ‘Anne Marie Walker’ notes her preferred Given Name to be ‘Anne Marie’, then ‘Anne Marie’ is recoded as (first) Given Name, and (second) Given Name is left blank. Registering an unnamed newborn baby: An unnamed (newborn) baby is to be registered using the mother's given name in conjunction with the prefix 'Baby of'. For example, if the baby's mother's given name is Fiona, then record 'Baby of Fiona' in the preferred 'Given name' field for the baby. This name is recorded under the newborn Name type. If a name is subsequently given, record the new name as the preferred given name and retain the newborn name. Registering unnamed multiple births: An unnamed (newborn) baby from a multiple birth should use their mother's given name plus a reference to the multiple births. For example, if the baby's mother's given name is 'Fiona' and a set of twins is to be registered, then record 'Twin 1 of Fiona' in the Given name field for the first born baby, and 'Twin 2 of Fiona' in the 'Given name' field of the second born baby. Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3 ...) are used, not Roman Numerals (I, II, III ......). In the case of triplets or other multiple births the same logic applies. The following terms should be use for recording multiple births: • Twin: use Twin, that is Twin 1 of Fiona • Triplet: use Trip, that is Trip 1 of Fiona • Quadruplet: use Quad, that is Quad 1 of Fiona • Quintuplet: use Quin, that is Quin 1 of Fiona • Sextuplet: use Sext, that is Sext 1 of Fiona • Septuplet: use Sept, that is Sept 1 of Fiona. These names should be recorded under the newborn Person name type. When the babies are named, the actual names should be recorded as the preferred name. The newborn name is retained. Ethnic Names: The Centrelink Naming Systems for Ethnic Groups publication provides the correct coding for ethnic names. Refer to Ethnic Names Condensed Guide for summary information. Misspelled given names: If the person's given name has been misspelled in error, update the Given name field with the correct spelling and record the misspelled given name as an Alias name. Recording misspelled names is important for filing documents that may be issued with previous versions of the client's name. Discretion should be used regarding the degree of recording that is maintained. Comments: Often people use a variety of names, including legal names, married/maiden names, nicknames, assumed names, traditional names, etc. Even small differences in recording - such as the difference between Thomas and Tom - can make Record linkage impossible. To minimise discrepancies in the recording and reporting of name information, agencies or establishments should ask the person for their full (formal) Given name and Family name. These may be different from the name that the person may prefer the agency or establishment workers to use in personal dealings. Agencies or establishments may choose to separately record the preferred name that the person wishes to be used by agency or establishment workers. In some cultures it is traditional to state the family name first. To overcome discrepancies in recording/reporting that may arise as a result of this practice, agencies or establishments should always ask the person to specify their first given name and their family or surname separately. These should then be recorded as Given name and Family name as appropriate, regardless of the order in which they may be traditionally given. National Community Services Data Dictionary specific: Selected letters of the given name in combination with selected letters of the family name, date of birth and sex may be used for record linkage for statistical purposes only. National Health Data Dictionary specific: Health care provider identification DSS and Health care client identification DSS For the purpose of positive identification or contact, agencies or establishments that collect Given name should also collect Given name sequence number. Given name sequence number is also a metadata item in Australian Standard AS4846-2004 Health care provider identification and is proposed for inclusion in the review of Australian Standard AS5017-2002 Health care client identification. AS5017 and AS4846 use alternative alphabetic codes for Given name sequence number. Refer to the current standards for more details.

This is in accord with the first two of three components of the Commonwealth definition. Data Element Concept: Person—Indigenous status Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Aboriginal but not Torres Strait Islander origin 2 Torres Strait Islander but not Aboriginal origin 3 Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin 4 Neither Aboriginal nor Torres Strait Islander origin Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: This metadata item is based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) standard for Indigenous status. For detailed advice on its use and application please refer to the ABS Website as indicated in the Reference documents. The classification for Indigenous status has a hierarchical structure comprising two levels. There are four categories at the detailed level of the classification which are grouped into two categories at the broad level. There is one supplementary category for 'not stated' responses. The classification is as follows: Indigenous: · Aboriginal but not Torres Strait Islander origin. · Torres Strait Islander but not Aboriginal origin. · Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin. Non-Indigenous: · Neither Aboriginal nor Torres Strait Islander origin. Not stated/ inadequately described: This category is not to be available as a valid answer to the questions but is intended for use: · Primarily when importing data from other data collections that do not contain mappable data. · Where an answer was refused. · Where the question was not able to be asked prior to completion of assistance because the client was unable to communicate or a person who knows the client was not available. Only in the last two situations may the tick boxes on the questionnaire be left blank. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: The standard question for Indigenous Status is as follows: [Are you] [Is the person] [Is (name)] of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin? (For persons of both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin, mark both 'Yes' boxes.) No.................................................... Yes, Aboriginal............................... Yes, Torres Strait Islander............ This question is recommended for self-enumerated or interview-based collections. It can also be used in circumstances where a close relative, friend, or another member of the household is answering on behalf of the subject. It is strongly recommended that this question be asked directly wherever possible. When someone is not present, the person answering for them should be in a position to do so, i.e. this person must know well the person about whom the question is being asked and feel confident to provide accurate information about them. This question must always be asked regardless of data collectors' perceptions based on appearance or other factors. The Indigenous status question allows for more than one response. The procedure for coding multiple responses is as follows: If the respondent marks 'No' and either 'Aboriginal' or 'Torres Strait Islander', then the response should be coded to either Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander as indicated (i.e. disregard the 'No' response). If the respondent marks both the 'Aboriginal' and 'Torres Strait Islander' boxes, then their response should be coded to 'Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Origin'. If the respondent marks all three boxes ('No', 'Aboriginal' and 'Torres Strait Islander'), then the response should be coded to 'Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Origin' (i.e. disregard the 'No' response). This approach may be problematical in some data collections, for example when data are collected by interview or using screen based data capture systems. An additional response category Yes, both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander... may be included if this better suits the data collection practices of the agency or establishment concerned. Comments: The following definition, commonly known as 'The Commonwealth Definition', was given in a High Court judgement in the case of Commonwealth v Tasmania (1983) 46 ALR 625. 'An Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is a person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent who identifies as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and is accepted as such by the community in which he or she lives'. There are three components to the Commonwealth definition: · descent; · self-identification; and · community acceptance. In practice, it is not feasible to collect information on the community acceptance part of this definition in general purpose statistical and administrative collections and therefore standard questions on Indigenous status relate to descent and self-identification only.

Data Element Concept: Person—date of birth Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Date Data type: Date/Time Format: DDMMYYYY Maximum character length: 8 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: If date of birth is not known or cannot be obtained, provision should be made to collect or estimate age. Collected or estimated age would usually be in years for adults, and to the nearest three months (or less) for children aged less than two years. Additionally, an estimated date flag or a date accuracy indicator should be reported in conjunction with all estimated dates of birth. For data collections concerned with children's services, it is suggested that the estimated date of birth of children aged under 2 years should be reported to the nearest 3 month period, i.e. 0101, 0104, 0107, 0110 of the estimated year of birth. For example, a child who is thought to be aged 18 months in October of one year would have his/her estimated date of birth reported as 0104 of the previous year. Again, an estimated date flag or date accuracy indicator should be reported in conjunction with all estimated dates of birth. Collection methods: Information on date of birth can be collected using the one question: What is your/(the person's) date of birth? In self-reported data collections, it is recommended that the following response format is used: Date of birth: _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ This enables easy conversion to the preferred representational layout (DDMMYYYY). For record identification and/or the derivation of other metadata items that require accurate date of birth information, estimated dates of birth should be identified by a date accuracy indicator to prevent inappropriate use of date of birth data. The linking of client records from diverse sources, the sharing of patient data, and data analysis for research and planning all rely heavily on the accuracy and integrity of the collected data. In order to maintain data integrity and the greatest possible accuracy an indication of the accuracy of the date collected is critical. The collection of an indicator of the accuracy of the date may be essential in confirming or refuting the positive identification of a person. For this reason it is strongly recommended that the data element Date—accuracy indicator, code AAA also be recorded at the time of record creation to flag the accuracy of the data. Comments: Privacy issues need to be taken into account in asking persons their date of birth. Wherever possible and wherever appropriate, date of birth should be used rather than age because the actual date of birth allows a more precise calculation of age. When date of birth is an estimated or default value, national health and community services collections typically use 0101 or 0107 or 3006 as the estimate or default for DDMM. It is suggested that different rules for reporting data may apply when estimating the date of birth of children aged under 2 years because of the rapid growth and development of children within this age group which means that a child's development can vary considerably over the course of a year. Thus, more specific reporting of estimated age is suggested.

CODE 3 Intersex or indeterminate Intersex or indeterminate, refers to a person, who because of a genetic condition, was born with reproductive organs or sex chromosomes that are not exclusively male or female or whose sex has not yet been determined for whatever reason. Intersex or indeterminate, should be confirmed if reported for people aged 90 days or greater. Comments: The definition for Intersex in Guide for use is sourced from the ACT Legislation (Gay, Lesbian and Transgender) Amendment Act 2003. Source and reference attributes Origin: Australian Capital Territory 2003. Legislation (Gay, Lesbian and Transgender) Amendment Act 2003 Reference documents: Legislation (Gay, Lesbian and Transgender) Amendment Act 2003. See http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/a/2003-14/20030328-4969/pdf/2003-14.pdf. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Collection methods: Operationally, sex is the distinction between male and female, as reported by a person or as determined by an interviewer. When collecting data on sex by personal interview, asking the sex of the respondent is usually unnecessary and may be inappropriate, or even offensive. It is usually a simple matter to infer the sex of the respondent through observation, or from other cues such as the relationship of the person(s) accompanying the respondent, or first name. The interviewer may ask whether persons not present at the interview are male or female. A person's sex may change during their lifetime as a result of procedures known alternatively as sex change, gender reassignment, transsexual surgery, transgender reassignment or sexual reassignment. Throughout this process, which may be over a considerable period of time, the person's sex could be recorded as either Male or Female. In data collections that use the ICD-10-AM classification, where sex change is the reason for admission, diagnoses should include the appropriate ICD-10-AM code(s) that clearly identify that the person is undergoing such a process. This code(s) would also be applicable after the person has completed such a process, if they have a procedure involving an organ(s) specific to their previous sex (e.g. where the patient has prostate or ovarian cancer). CODE 3 Intersex or indeterminate Is normally used for babies for whom sex has not been determined for whatever reason. Should not generally be used on data collection forms completed by the respondent. Should only be used if the person or respondent volunteers that the person is intersex or where it otherwise becomes clear during the collection process that the individual is neither male nor female. CODE 9 Not stated/inadequately described Is not to be used on primary collection forms. It is primarily for use in administrative collections when transferring data from data sets where the item has not been collected.

Used in conjunction with the other high-level address components i.e. Suburb/town/locality, Postcode—Australian, Australian state/territory, and Country, forms a complete geographical/physical address of a person. Data Element Concept: Person (address)—address line Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Text Data type: String Format: X[X(179)] Maximum character length: 180 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: A high-level address component is defined as a broad geographical area that is capable of containing more than one specific physical location. Some examples of a broad geographical area are: - Suburb, town or locality - Postcode—Australian or international - State, Territory, local government area, electorate, statistical local area - Postal delivery point identifier - Countries, provinces, etc other than in Australia These components of a complete address do not form part of the Address line. When addressing an Australian location, following are the standard address data elements that may be concatenated in the Address line: - Building/complex sub-unit type - Building/complex sub-unit number - Building/property name - Floor/level number - Floor/level type - House/property number - Lot/section number - Street name - Street type code - Street suffix code One complete identification/description of a location/site of an address can comprise one or more than one instance of address line. Instances of address lines are commonly identified in electronic information systems as Address-line 1, Address-line 2, etc. The format of data collection is less important than consistent use of conventions in the recording of address data. Hence, address may be collected in an unstructured manner but should ideally be stored in a structured format. Where Address line is collected as a stand-alone item, software may be used to parse the Address line details to separate the sub-components. Multiple Address lines may be recorded as required. Collection methods: The following concatenation rules should be observed when collecting address lines addressing an Australian location. - Building/complex sub-unit type is to be collected in conjunction with Building/complex sub-unit number and vice versa. - Floor/level type is to be collected in conjunction with Floor/level number and vice versa. - Street name is to be used in conjunction with Street type code and Street suffix code. - Street type code is to be used in conjunction with Street name and Street suffix code. - Street suffix code is to be used in conjunction with Street name and Street type code. - House/property number is to be used in conjunction with Street name.

Refer to the Australia Post Address Presentation Standard for rules on presentation and positioning of postcodes on mail. For a full list of Australian postcodes visit the Australia Post website:www.auspost.com.au This data element may be used in the analysis of data on a geographical basis which involves coding data containing an address with a postcode to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) areas. The ABS provides a number of coding indexes and correspondences to undertake this conversion from postcode to ASGS areas. (See the correspondences section of ABS geography portal www.abs.gov.au/geography). A more accurate way to convert address data to ASGS geography is to use the locality to SA2 coding index, available from ABS, where the locality, postcode and state, (which are all part of an address), used in conjunction can effectively code data to the SA2 level and above in the ASGS. Note that it is not possible to code to SA1 level using these correspondences or indexes.

Data Element Concept: Episode of admitted patient care—separation date Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Date Data type: Date/Time Format: DDMMYYYY Maximum character length: 8 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Comments: There may be variations amongst jurisdictions with respect to the recording of separation date. This most often occurs for patients who are statistically separated after a period of leave (and who do not return for further hospital care). In this case, some jurisdictions may record the separation date as the date of statistical separation (and record intervening days as leave days) while other jurisdictions may retrospectively separate patients on the first day of leave. Despite the variations in recording of separation date for this group of patients, the current practices provide for the accurate recording of length of stay.

The following basic rules are used to calculate the number of patient days for overnight stay patients: • The day the patient is admitted is a patient day • If the patient remains in hospital from midnight to 2359 hours count as a patient day • The day a patient goes on leave is counted as a leave day • If the patient is on leave from midnight to 2359 hours count as a leave day • The day the patient returns from leave is counted as a patient day • The day the patient is separated is not counted as a patient day. The following additional rules cover special circumstances and in such cases, override the basic rules: • Patients admitted and separated on the same date (same-day patients) are to be given a count of one patient day • If the patient is admitted and goes on leave on the same day, count as a patient day • If the patient returns from leave and goes on leave on the same date, count as a leave day. • If the patient returns from leave and is separated, it is not counted as either a patient day or a leave day. • If a patient goes on leave the day they are admitted and does not return from leave until the day they are discharged, count as one patient day (the day of admission is counted as a patient day, the day of separation is not counted as a patient day). When calculating total patient days for a specified period: • Count the total patient days of those patients separated during the specified period including those admitted before the specified period • Do not count the patient days of those patients admitted during the specified period who did not separate until the following reference period • Contract patient days are included in the count of total patient days. If it is a requirement to distinguish contract patient days from other patient days, they can be calculated by using the rules contained in the data element: total contract patient days.

Data Element Concept: Establishment—number of patient episodes of healthcare associated Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[NNNN] Maximum character length: 5 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Patient episodes of healthcare associated Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) may be counted for • an individual establishment i.e. the sum of the number of patient episodes of healthcare associated SAB within the establishment; and/or • a jurisdiction (i.e. state/territory) i.e. the sum of the number of patient episodes of healthcare associated SAB within establishments within the jurisdiction. SAB rates will be calculated for each healthcare facility and jurisdiction as follows: 10,000 x (Numerator ÷ Denominator) Numerator: Patient episodes of Healthcare associated SAB Denominator: Number of patient days As with all hospital-based infection surveillance, the responsibility for collection, analysis and reporting generally rests with hospital infection control teams. In many states, jurisdictional surveillance units provide support for these activities for at least some hospitals, and relevant manuals and material from such units should be used where appropriate.
