Description

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) Elective surgery waiting times (removals data) The scope of this national minimum data set (NMDS) is patients removed from waiting lists for elective surgery (as defined in Elective care waiting list episode—elective care type, code N) which are managed by public acute hospitals. This will include private patients treated in public hospitals, and may include public patients treated in private hospitals. Hospitals may also collect information for other care (as defined in the 'waiting list category' data element), but this is not part of the NMDSs for Elective surgery waiting times (census data) and Elective surgery waiting times (removals data). Patients removed from waiting lists managed by hospitals operated by the Australian Defence Force, corrections authorities and Australia's external territories are not currently included. Removals data: Data are collected for patients who have been removed from an elective surgery waiting list (for admission or another reason). Patients who were 'ready for care' and patients who were 'not ready for care' at the time of removal are included, as defined in the Elective surgery waiting list episode—patient listing status, readiness for care code N data element. © Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2015 Metadata and Classifications Unit Australian Institute of Health and Welfare GPO Box 570 Canberra ACT 2601

Description

Elective care waiting list episode—listing date for care, DDMMYYYY Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Listing date for care METeOR identifier: 269957 Registration status: Health, Standard 01/03/2005 Definition: The date on which a hospital or a community health service accepts notification that a patient/client requires care/treatment. Data Element Concept: Elective care waiting list episode—listing date for care 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: For elective surgery, the listing date is the date on which the patient is added to an elective surgery waiting list. The acceptance of the notification by the hospital or community health service is conditional upon the provision of adequate information about the patient and the appropriateness of the patient referral. Comments: The hospital or community health service should only accept a patient onto the waiting list when sufficient information has been provided to fulfil state/territory, local and national reporting requirements.

Clinical urgency
Description

Elective surgery waiting list episode—clinical urgency, code N Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Clinical urgency METeOR identifier: 598034 Registration status: Health, Standard 12/06/2015 Definition: A clinical assessment of the urgency with which a patient requires elective surgery, as represented by a code.

Viewed 30 July 2015. http://www.aihw.gov.au/publication-detail/?id=60129543979 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Patients who require an elective procedure should be assigned an urgency category by the treating clinician. The urgency category should be: • appropriate to the patient and their clinical situation • not influenced by the availability of hospital or surgeon resources. Comments: The treating clinician is the clinician with responsibility for the patient at the time of urgency categorisation. The clinical situation of the patient is taken to encompass the patient's medical condition and the patient's life circumstances, including issues related to activity limitations, restrictions in participation in employment and other life situations, carer responsibilities and access to carer and other supports. A patient's classification may change if he or she undergoes clinical review during the waiting period. The need for clinical review varies with the patient's condition and is therefore at the discretion of the treating clinician. The waiting list information system should be able to record dates when the classification is changed (metadata item Elective care waiting list episode—category reassignment date, DDMMYYYY).

Indicator procedure
Description

Elective surgery waiting list episode—indicator procedure, code NN Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Indicator procedure METeOR identifier: 514033 Registration status: Health, Standard 02/05/2013 National Health Performance Authority, Proposed 25/07/2013 Definition: The indicator procedure for which an elective surgery patient is waiting, as represented by a code. Data Element Concept: Elective surgery waiting list episode—indicator procedure Value domain attributes Representational attributes Classification scheme: Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI) 8th edition Representation class: Code Data type: String Format: NN Maximum character length: 2 Permissible values: Value Meaning 01 Cataract extraction 02 Cholecystectomy 03 Coronary artery bypass graft 04 Cystoscopy 05 Haemorrhoidectomy 06 Hysterectomy 07 Inguinal herniorrhaphy 08 Myringoplasty 09 Myringotomy 10 Prostatectomy 11 Septoplasty 12 Tonsillectomy 13 Total hip replacement 14 Total knee replacement 15 Varicose veins stripping and ligation 88 Other Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The procedure terms are defined by the Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI) codes which are listed in the Comments field below. Where a patient is awaiting more than one indicator procedure, all codes should be listed. This is because the intention is to count procedures rather than patients in this instance. These are planned procedures for the waiting list, not what is actually performed during hospitalisation. Comments: The list of indicator procedures may be reviewed from time to time. Some health authorities already code a larger number of waiting list procedures. Waiting list statistics for indicator procedures give a specific indication of performance in particular areas of elective care provision. It is not always possible to code all elective surgery procedures at the time of addition to the waiting list. Reasons for this include that the surgeon may be uncertain of the exact procedure to be performed, and that the large number of procedures possible and lack of consistent nomenclature would make coding errors likely. Furthermore, the increase in workload for clerical staff may not be acceptable. However, a relatively small number of procedures account for the bulk of the elective surgery workload. Therefore, a list of common procedures with a tendency to long waiting times is useful. Waiting time statistics by procedure are useful to patients and referring doctors. In addition, waiting time data by procedure assists in planning and resource allocation, audit and performance monitoring. The following is a list of ACHI (8th edition) codes comprising each indicator procedure category: Cataract extraction: 42698-00 [195] 42702-00 [195] 42702-01 [195] 42698-01 [196] 42702-02 [196] 42702-03 [196] 42698-02 [197] 42702-04 [197] 42702-05 [197] 42698-03 [198] 42702-06 [198] 42702-07 [198] 42698-04 [199] 42702-08 [199] 42702-09 [199] 42731-01 [200] 42698-05 [200] 42702-10 [200] 42734-00 [201] 42788-00 [201] 42719-00 [201] 42731-00 [201] 42719-02 [201] 42791-02 [201] 42716-00 [202] 42702-11 [200] 42722-00 [201] Cholecystectomy: 30443-00 [965] 30454-01 [965] 30455-00 [965] 30445-00 [965] 30448-00 [965] 30449-00 [965] Coronary artery bypass graft: 38497-00 [672] 38497-01 [672] 39497-02 [672] 38497-03 [672] 38497-04 [673] 38497-05 [673] 38497-06 [673] 39497-07 [673] 38500-00 [674] 38503-00 [674] 38500-01 [675] 38503-01 [675] 38500-02 [676] 38503-02 [676] 38500-03 [677] 38503-03 [677] 38500-04 [678] 38500-05 [679] 38503-04 [678] 38503-05 [679] 90201-00 [679] 90201-01 [679] 90201-02 [679] 90201-03 [679] Cystoscopy: 36812-00 [1089] 36812-01 [1089] 36836-00 [1098] Haemorrhoidectomy: 32138-00 [941] 32132-00 [941] 32135-00 [941] 32135-01 [941] 32138-01 [941] 32138-02 [941] Hysterectomy: 35653-00 [1268] 35653-01 [1268] 35661-00 [1268] 35670-00 [1268] 35667-00 [1268] 35664-00 [1268] 35657-00 [1269] 35756-00 [1269] 35673-02 [1269] 35753-02 [1269] 35667-01 [1269] 35664-01 [1269] 90450-00 [989] 90450-01 [989] 90450-02 [989] 35653-04 [1268] 90448-00 [1268] 90448-01 [1268] 90448-02 [1268] Inguinal herniorrhaphy: 30614-03 [990] 30615-00 [997] 30609-03 [990] 30614-02 [990] 30609-02 [990] Myringoplasty: 41527-00 [313] 41530-00 [313] 41533-01 [313] 41542-00 [315] 41635-01 [313] Myringotomy: 41626-00 [309] 41626-01 [309] 41632-00 [309] 41632-01 [309] Prostatectomy: 37203-00 [1165] 37203-02 [1165] 37207-00 [1166] 37207-01 [1166] 37203-05 [1166] 37203-06 [1166] 37200-03 [1167] 37200-04 [1167] 37209-00 [1167] 37200-05 [1167] 90407-00 [1168] 37201-00 [1165] 37203-03 [1166] 37203-04 [1166] 37224-00 [1162] 37224-01 [1162] 37209-01 [1166] 37210-01 [1166] 37211-01 [1166] 90408-00 [1162] Septoplasty: 41671-02 [379] 41671-01 [379] 41671-03 [379] Tonsillectomy: 41789-00 [412] 41789-01 [412] Total hip replacement: 49318-00 [1489] 49319-00 [1489] 49324-00 [1492] 49327-00 [1492] 49330-00 [1492] 49333-00 [1492] 49345-00 [1492] 49339-00 [1492] 49342-00 [1492] Total knee replacement: 49518-00 [1518] 49519-00 [1518] 49521-00 [1519] 49521-01 [1519] 49521-02 [1519] 49521-03 [1519] 49524-00 [1519] 49524-01 [1519] 49527-00 [1524] 49530-00 [1523] 49530-01 [1523] 49533-00 [1523] 49554-00 [1523] 49534-00 [1519] Varicose veins stripping and ligation: 32508-00 [727] 32508-01 [727] 32511-00 [727] 32504-01 [728] 32507-00 [728] 32514-00 [737] Source and reference attributes Origin: National Health Data Committee Reference documents: National Casemix and Classification Centre (NCCC) 2012.

CODE 2 Admitted as an emergency patient for awaited procedure by or on behalf of this hospital or the state/territory This code identifies patients who were admitted ahead of their normal position in the queue because the condition requiring treatment deteriorated whilst waiting. Admission as an emergency patient could also be due to other causes such as inappropriate urgency rating, delays in the system, or unpredicted biological variation. CODES 3 - 5 CODE 3 Could not be contacted (includes patients who have died while waiting, whether or not the cause of death was related to the condition requiring treatment) CODE 4 Treated elsewhere for awaited procedure, but not on behalf of this hospital or the state/territory This code would be used where surgery was undertaken other than by or on behalf of this hospital or the state/territory; for example, the patient has accessed surgery as a private patient in a private hospital. CODE 5 Surgery not required or declined These codes provide an indication of the amount of clerical audit of the waiting lists. Code 4 gives an indication of patients treated other than as a patient of the hospital's waiting list. The awaited procedure may have been performed as an emergency or as an elective procedure. CODE 6 Transferred to another hospital's waiting list This code identifies patients who were transferred from one hospital's elective surgery waiting list to that of another hospital. The waiting time on the waiting lists at the initial hospital and subsequent hospitals should be combined for national reporting. CODE 9 Not known This code identifies patients removed from the waiting list for reasons unknown.

Waiting time at removal from elective surgery waiting list
Description

Elective surgery waiting list episode—waiting time (at removal), total days N[NNN] Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Waiting time at removal from elective surgery waiting list METeOR identifier: 471744 Registration status: Health, Standard 13/12/2011 Tasmanian Health, Draft 24/03/2014 National Health Performance Authority, Standard 25/07/2013 Definition: The time elapsed (in days) for a patient on the elective surgery waiting list from the date they were added to the waiting list for the procedure to the date they were removed from the waiting list. Context: Elective surgery Data Element Concept: Elective surgery waiting list episode—waiting time Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[NNN] Maximum character length: 4 Unit of measure: Day Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The number of days is calculated by subtracting the listing date for care from the removal date, minus any days when the patient was 'not ready for care', and also minus any days the patient was waiting with a less urgent clinical urgency category than their clinical urgency category at removal. Days when the patient was not ready for care is calculated by subtracting the date(s) the person was recorded as 'not ready for care' from the date(s) the person was subsequently recorded as again being 'ready for care'. If, at any time since being added to the waiting list for the elective surgical procedure, the patient has had a less urgent clinical urgency category than the category at removal, then the number of days waited at the less urgent clinical urgency category should be subtracted from the total number of days waited. In cases where there has been only one category reassignment (i.e. to the more urgent category attached to the patient at removal) the number of days at the less urgent clinical urgency category should be calculated by subtracting the listing date for care from the category reassignment date. If the patient's clinical urgency was reclassified more than once, days spent in each period of less urgent clinical urgency than the one applying at removal should be calculated by subtracting one category reassignment date from the subsequent category reassignment date, and then adding the days together. When a patient is removed from an elective surgery waiting list, for admission on an elective basis for the procedure they were awaiting, but the surgery is cancelled and the patient remains on or is placed back on the waiting list within the same hospital, the time waited on the list should continue. Therefore at the removal date, the patient's waiting time includes the number of days waited on an elective surgery waiting list, both before and after any cancelled surgery admission. The time waited before the cancelled surgery should be counted as part of the total time waited by the patient. Comments: Elective surgery waiting times data collections include measures of waiting times at removal and at designated census dates. This metadata item is used to measure waiting times at removal whereas the metadata item waiting time at a census date measures waiting times at a designated census date. The calculation of waiting times for patients, who are transferred from an elective surgery waiting list managed by one public acute hospital to another, will be investigated in the future. In this case, the amount of time waited on previous lists would follow the patient to the next. Therefore when the patient is removed from the waiting list (for admission or other reason), their waiting time would include the total number of days on all lists (less days not ready for care and days in lower urgency categories). This is a critical elective surgery waiting times metadata item. It is used to determine whether patients were overdue. It is used to assist doctors and patients in makign decisions about hospital referral, to assist in the planning and management of hospitals and in health care related research.

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.
