Available bed—overnight-stay admitted care, average number of beds N[NNN.N] Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Average available beds for overnight-stay patients METeOR identifier: 374151 Registration status: Health, Standard 03/12/2008 Definition: The number of beds available to provide overnight accommodation for patients (other than neonatal cots (non-special-care) and beds occupied by hospital-in-the-home patients), averaged over the counting period. Context: Public hospital establishments Data Element Concept: Available bed—overnight-stay admitted care Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Average Data type: Number Format: N[NNN.N] Maximum character length: 5 Unit of measure: Bed Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Average available beds, rounded to the nearest decimal or whole number. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The number of available beds should be collected at least monthly at the same time on the same day. To improve accuracy data could be collected more frequently (e.g. daily). If so it should be collected at the same time on each day. More frequent data collection is preferable if a single monthly count is likely to be significantly different from the monthly average. Inclusions: Both occupied and unoccupied beds are included in the count as they are deemed as available beds. The number of beds available to provide overnight accommodation is recorded, e.g. maternity ward beds are counted but beds in the delivery suite are not. However, if in a delivery suite patients are admitted, deliver and are discharged from the same bed, such beds should be included because these beds are available for use for overnight-stay patients. Exclusions: surgical tables, recovery trolleys, delivery beds, discharge lounges for patients who have been formally discharged, medi-hotel beds, beds exclusively or predominantly for same-day admitted care, neonatal cots (non-special-care), hospital-in-the home beds, and beds exclusively or predominantly for non-admitted patients (e.g. emergency trolleys) or residential care. No adjustment should be made for contracted services, either provided by, or to this hospital. Collection methods: Beds exclusively or predominantly for overnight-stay admitted care, beds exclusively or predominantly for same-day admitted care and, if required, non-special care neonatal cots are to be collected and reported in separate categories. Hospitals should establish clear recording and reporting practices. Criteria should exist to ensure that each available bed is counted once and only once. A bed should first be assessed as available and then categorised to its predominant use. For large hospitals, a reconciliation of the sum of the bed types and an unduplicated establishment bed count is advisable. The assessment of availability must reflect the ability of the hospital to provide the necessary resources. This can be significantly impacted by seasonal demand or events such as a strike, clinical staff shortage, fire or renovation. This is illustrated by the following examples. Example 1: A large hospital, which conducts a daily bed count, has a ward containing 20 beds suitably equipped for overnight admitted patient care. The funding for this ward would allow an average of 15 beds to be staffed over the year. Provided demand is constant and there are no circumstances which prevent these beds from being available for patients, such as a strike, clinical staff shortage, fire or renovation, the hospital would report 15 available beds for this ward. Example 2: A small hospital, which conducts a monthly bed count, is located in a summer holiday area and has 30 beds suitably equipped for overnight admitted patient care. It manages its resources in such a way that 30 beds are fully staffed during the four months from December to March, but only 15 beds are staffed during the remaining eight months from April to November. The annual average number of available beds is the average of the twelve counts – i.e. ((30 beds x 4 months) + (15 beds x 8 months) divided by 12 counting periods) = 20 beds. Example 3: A hospital conducts a monthly bed count. Ward A containing 20 beds is closed for six months for a planned renovation. During this period a temporary 10 bed ward (B) is established and the necessary resources are provided. The annual average number of available beds for Ward A is the average of the twelve counts i.e. (20 beds X 6 months) + (0 beds X 6 months) divided by 12 counting periods = 10 beds. The annual average number of available beds for Ward B is (0 beds X 6 months) + (10 beds X 6 months) divided by 12 counting periods = 5 beds. Example 4: A hospital conducts a daily bed count. A 20 bed ward is closed during the first week of June because of a strike, but for the remainder of June it is fully staffed so that all 20 beds are available. So the average number of beds available for this ward in June is ((0 beds X 7 days) + (20 beds X 23 days) = 460/30 = 15.3. Comments: This data element is necessary to provide an indicator of the availability and type of service for an establishment.

Available bed—residential mental health care, average number of beds N[NNN.N] Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Average available beds for residential mental health patients METeOR identifier: 373650 Registration status: Health, Standard 03/12/2008 Definition: The number of beds available in the specialised residential mental health services for overnight accommodation, averaged over the counting period. Data Element Concept: Available bed—residential mental health care Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Average Data type: Number Format: N[NNN.N] Maximum character length: 5 Unit of measure: Bed Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Average available beds, rounded to the nearest decimal or whole number. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Residential mental health beds are available only if they are suitably located and equipped to provide residential mental health care and the necessary financial and human resources can be provided. Average available residential mental health beds are the average bed counts conducted during the year as required. Inclusions: Both occupied and unoccupied residential mental health beds are included. Collection methods: Specialised residential mental health care services should establish clear recording and reporting practices and criteria that ensure that each available residential mental health bed is counted and that no available residential mental health bed is counted more than once. The assessment of availability must reflect the ability of the specialised residential mental health care service to provide the necessary resources, and this can be significantly impacted by events such as a strike, clinical staff shortage, fire or renovation. This is illustrated by the following examples. Example 1: A specialised residential mental health care service containing 20 residential mental health beds (A) is closed for several months, either for a planned renovation or in response to an unplanned event such as a fire. During this period a temporary 10 specialised residential mental health bed facility (B) is established and the necessary resources are provided. The specialised residential mental health care service would not report the residential mental health beds in facility A, but it would report the 10 residential mental health beds in facility B. Example 2: A 20 bed specialised residential mental health service is closed during the first week of February because of a strike, but for the remaining three weeks of February it is fully staffed so that all 20 residential mental health beds can be occupied during those three weeks. So the average number of residential mental health beds available for this service in February is 15. Comments: This data element is necessary to provide an indicator of the capacity of the residential service.

Data Element Concept: Establishment—recurrent expenditure (non-salary operating costs) Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Currency Format: N[N(8)] Maximum character length: 9 Unit of measure: Australian currency (AU$) Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Report all expenditure in thousands of dollars (i.e. $ 000’s). Expenditure should include both the specific costs directly associated with the service and indirect costs, for example personnel services. Research and academic units that function as an integral part of ambulatory care should be reported against the appropriate service. Depreciation is to be excluded from the non-salary operating costs. Collection methods: Non-salary recurrent expenditure, excluding depreciation, is to be reported by service setting (admitted patient care, residential care, ambulatory care). For the admitted patient care setting non-salary recurrent expenditure, excluding depreciation, is to be disaggregated by specialised mental health service program type and specialised mental health service target population, together. The sub-components of non-salary recurrent expenditure, and depreciation, are to be reported at the organisation level for the Mental health establishments NMDS. However, if the organisation is not reporting on an accrual basis then it does not need to report depreciation.

Establishment—accrued mental health care days, total N[N(7)] Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Accrued mental health care days METeOR identifier: 286770 Registration status: Health, Standard 08/12/2004 Definition: The total number of accrued mental health care days provided by admitted patient care services and residential mental health care services within the reference period (from 1 July to 30 June inclusive). Data Element Concept: Establishment—accrued mental health care days Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[N(7)] Maximum character length: 8 Unit of measure: Day Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The days to be counted are only those days occurring within the reference period, i.e. from 1 July to the following 30 June for the relevant period, even if the patient/resident was admitted prior to the reference period or discharged after the reference period. A day is measured from midnight to 2359 hours. The following basic rules are used to calculate the number of accrued mental health care days: · Admission and discharge on the same day is equal to one mental health care day. · For a patient/resident admitted and discharged on different days all days are counted as mental health care days, except the day of discharge and any leave days. · If the patient/resident remains in hospital or residential care facility from midnight to 2359 hours count as a mental health care day. · The day a patient/resident goes on leave is not counted as a mental health care day, unless this was also the admission day. · The day the patient/resident returns from leave is counted as a mental health care day, unless the patient/resident goes on leave again on the same day of return or is discharged. · Leave days involving an overnight absence are not counted as mental health care days. · If a patient/resident goes on leave the day they are admitted and does not return from leave until the day they are discharged, count as one mental health care day. · If the patient/resident remains in a hospital or residential care facility from 1 July to 30 June (the whole of the reference period) count as 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). · If the patient/resident remains in a hospital or residential care facility after the end of the reference period (i.e. after 30 June) do not count any days after the end of the reference period. The following additional rules cover special circumstances and in such cases, override the basic rules: When calculating accrued mental health care days for the reference period: · Count the mental health care days of those patients/residents separated during the reference period. Exclude any days that may have occurred before the beginning of the reference period. · Count the mental health care days of those patients/residents admitted during the reference period who did not separate until the following reference period. Exclude the days after the end of the reference period. · For patients/residents admitted before the reference period and who remain in after the reference period (i.e. after 30 June), count the mental health care days within the reference period only. Exclude all days before and after the reference period. Examples of mental health care day counting for a reference period 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005: Patient/resident A was admitted to hospital on 4 June 2004 and separated on 6 July 2004. If no leave or transfer occurred counting starts on 1 July. Count would be 5 days as day of discharge is not counted. Patient/resident B was admitted to hospital on 1 August 2004 and separated on 8 August 2004. If no leave or transfer occurred counting starts on 1 August. Count would be 7 days as day of discharge is not counted. Patient/resident C was admitted to hospital on 1 June 2005 and separated on 6 July 2005. If no leave or transfer occurred counting starts on 1 June. Count would be 30 days as patient/resident was not discharged on 30 June, so every day up to and including 30 June would be counted. Patient/resident D was admitted to hospital on 1 August 2003 and has remained continuously in hospital to the present time. If no leave or transfer occurred counting starts on 1 July 2004 and concludes on 30 June 2005. Count would be 365 days as there is no day of discharge.

Medical staff and nursing staff, diagnostic and health professionals and any domestic staff primarily or partly engaged in administrative and clerical duties are excluded. Civil engineers and computing staff are included in this metadata item. The average is to be calculated from pay period figures. The length of the pay period is assumed to be a fortnight. If under the relevant award of agreement a full-time employee is paid for an 80 (ordinary time) hour fortnight, the full-time equivalent for a part-time employee who works 64 hours is 0.8. If a full-time employee under the same award is paid for a 100 hours for that fortnight (20 hours overtime), then the full-time equivalent is 100 divided by 80 = 1.25. Data on full-time equivalent staffing numbers by category should be consistent with data on salaries and wages by staffing category. If the full-time equivalent for contract staff is not collected then salaries for those contract staff should be included in other recurrent expenditure data items. Where staff provide services to more than one establishment, full-time equivalent staff members should be apportioned between all establishments to which services are provided on the basis of hours paid for in each (salary costs should be apportioned on the same basis). Comments: This metadata item was amended during 1996-97. Until then, both average and end of year counts of full-time equivalent staff were included, and the end of year counts used as surrogates for the average counts if the latter were unavailable.

Rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Depreciation is to be reported by service setting (admitted patient care, residential care, ambulatory care). For admitted patient care settings, depreciation is to be disaggregated by specialised mental health service program type and specialised mental health service target population, together. Comments: With the long-term trend towards accrual accounting in the public sector, this metadata item will ultimately become significant for public sector establishments. Public sector establishments in some states have adopted modified accrual accounting identifying depreciation only, before reaching full accrual accounting. Depreciation is now reported for most public sector establishments and should be reported as a separate recurrent expenditure. Depreciation should be identified separately from other recurrent expenditure categories.

Comments: The definition specifically excludes employee superannuation contributions (not a cost to the establishment) and superannuation final benefit payments. In private enterprise some superannuation schemes are partially funded but this is considered too complex a distinction for national minimum data sets. It is noted that the emergence of salary sacrifice schemes allows employees to forego salary for higher superannuation contributions. If these become significant, national minimum data sets may have to take them into account at a future stage.

Establishment—service unit cluster identifier, XXXXX Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Service unit cluster identifier METeOR identifier: 404858 Registration status: Health, Standard 07/12/2011 Definition: A unique identifier for a service unit cluster, which groups specialised mental health ambulatory and residential service units, as represented by a combination of numeric and/or alphabetic characters. Data Element Concept: Establishment—service unit cluster identifier Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Identifier Data type: String Format: XXXXX Maximum character length: 5 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: A Specialised mental health service organisation may consist of one or more clusters of service units providing services in admitted patient, residential and ambulatory settings. For example, a Specialised mental health service organisation may consist of several hospitals (clusters of admitted patient service units) and/or ambulatory or residential service unit clusters (for example, a cluster of child and adolescent ambulatory service units, and a cluster of aged residential service units). To allow service units to be individually identified, but still also to be identified as part of a hospital (for the admitted patient service setting), or as part of another type of cluster (e.g. other cluster types for ambulatory or residential service setting), a separate reporting level called Hospital for admitted patient service units and Service unit cluster for ambulatory service units and residential service units is necessary. The concept of Service unit cluster only applies to ambulatory and residential service units. The equivalent entity for the grouping of admitted patient service units is the Hospital. However, for some ambulatory service units, the service unit may 'belong' to a hospital that contains both admitted patient and ambulatory service units. In this instance, the service unit cluster identifier for the ambulatory service unit would be the 'hospital identifier'. Other groups of ambulatory and residential service units could also be usefully identified as clusters. For example, clusters may exist of groups of residential services for aged persons, or groups of ambulatory service units in particular geographical areas. The complete identifier string, including State/Territory identifier, Region identifier, Organisation identifier and Service unit cluster identifier, should be a unique code for the cluster in that state/territory.

Data Element Concept: Establishment—service unit cluster name Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Text Data type: String Format: XXX[X(97)] Maximum character length: 100 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: A Specialised mental health service organisation may consist of one or more clusters of service units providing services in admitted patient, residential and ambulatory settings. For example, a Specialised mental health service organisation may consist of several hospitals (clusters of admitted patient service units) and/or ambulatory or residential service unit clusters (for example, a cluster of child and adolescent ambulatory service units, and a cluster of aged residential service units). To allow service units to be individually identified, but still also to be identified as part of a hospital (for the admitted patient service setting), or as part of another type of cluster (e.g. other cluster types for ambulatory or residential service setting), a separate reporting level called Hospital for admitted patient service units and Service unit cluster for ambulatory service units and residential service units is necessary. The concept of Service unit cluster only applies to ambulatory and residential service units. The equivalent entity for the grouping of admitted patient service units is the Hospital. However, for some ambulatory service units, the service unit may 'belong' to a hospital that contains both admitted patient and ambulatory service units. In this instance, the service unit cluster identifier for the ambulatory service unit would be the Hospital identifier. Other groups of ambulatory and residential service units could also be usefully identified as clusters. For example, clusters may exist of groups of residential services for aged persons, or groups of ambulatory service units in particular geographical areas. Where there is no Service unit cluster, then the Service unit cluster name would be the relevant organisation name. The Service unit cluster name should be unique for the cluster in that state/territory. Service unit reporting structures should be identical between all mental health collections (e.g., Mental Health National Minimum Data Sets and the Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC)).

At least one hospital name must be recorded for each hospital. The management of mental health services across a jurisdiction or area may result in a number of separate Specialised mental health service organisations reporting various mental health service units from a single hospital entity.

CODE 4 Organisational overhead setting The components of specialised mental health service organisations not directly involved in the delivery of patient care services in the admitted patient, residential or ambulatory mental health care service settings, or in the operations of those settings. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The intention of the ‘Organisation overhead setting’ category is to separately identify staff not directly involved in the delivery of patient care services in the Admitted patient, Residential or Ambulatory mental health care service settings, or in the operations of those settings. Note that this does not imply that these roles do not have an impact on service delivery. Staff employed to deliver patient care services should be reported in the Admitted patient (code 1), Residential (code 2) or Ambulatory (code 3) mental health care settings, as appropriate. Staff employed in the administration of a particular service would also be reported against the appropriate service setting. For example, administrative and domestic staff specifically attached to an admitted patient unit would be reported at the Admitted patient care service setting. Organisational staff not directly involved in the delivery of patient care services should be reported in the Organisational overhead setting (code 4). For example, a chief operating officer not directly providing patient care, nor involved in the operation of services in a specific service setting, would be reported in the Organisational overhead setting. Some staff may require apportioning across a number of service settings. For example, a clinical director, with oversight of all services provided by the organisation, would be apportioned across the service settings based on the level of involvement with each of these services. This data element permits staffing data related to service settings to be identified and reported separately.

Specialised mental health service—admitted patient care program type, code N Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Specialised mental health service program type METeOR identifier: 288889 Registration status: Health, Standard 08/12/2004 Definition: Type of admitted patient care program provided by a specialised mental health service, as represented by a code. Data Element Concept: Specialised mental health service—admitted patient care program type Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Acute care 2 Other Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: The categorisation of the admitted patient program is based on the principal purpose(s) of the program rather than the classification of the individual patients. CODE 1 Acute care Programs primarily providing specialist psychiatric care for people with acute episodes of mental disorder. These episodes are characterised by recent onset of severe clinical symptoms of mental disorder that have potential for prolonged dysfunction or risk to self and/or others. The key characteristic of acute services is that this treatment effort is focused on short-term treatment. Acute services may be focused on assisting people who have had no prior contact or previous psychiatric history, or individuals with a continuing mental disorder for whom there has been an acute exacerbation of symptoms. This category applies only to services with a mental health service setting of overnight admitted patient care or residential care. CODE 2 Other Refers to all other programs primarily providing admitted patient care. Includes programs providing rehabilitation services that have a primary focus on intervention to reduce functional impairments that limit the independence of patients. Rehabilitation services are focused on disability and the promotion of personal recovery. They are characterised by an expectation of substantial improvement over the short to mid-term. Patients treated by rehabilitation services usually have a relatively stable pattern of clinical symptoms. Also includes programs providing extended care services that primarily provide care over an indefinite period for patients who have a stable but severe level of functional impairment and an inability to function independently, thus requiring extensive care and support. Patients of extended care services present a stable pattern of clinical symptoms, which may include high levels of severe unremitting symptoms of mental disorder. Treatment is focused on preventing deterioration and reducing impairment; improvement is expected to occur slowly.

Similarly, if the hospital provided separate wards for older persons acute and older persons other program types, such as rehabilitation or extended care, this would require separate service units to be identified (that is, defined by the Specialised mental health service—admitted patient care program type, code N data element as well as the Specialised mental health service—target population group, code N data element). Where a hospital has, for example, two older persons acute admitted patient service units, these only need to be reported as one combined older persons acute admitted patient service unit to satisfy the minimum reporting requirements for NMDS purposes, but could be reported as two separate service units if desired. For additional information, please refer to the glossary item Admitted patient mental health care service. The complete identifier string, including State/Territory identifier, Region identifier, Organisation identifier, Hospital identifier and Admitted patient service unit identifier, should be a unique code for the service unit in that state/territory.
