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) Indigenous primary health care DSS 2014-15 The Indigenous primary health care data set specification (IPHC DSS) is primarily designed to support the collection of aggregate information from Indigenous-specific primary health care services. The IPHC DSS describes the aggregate data to be reported by those Indigenous-specific primary health care services. Only the data, which services aggregate using cohort definitions and specialised software, will be supplied through the OATSIH Community Health Reporting Environment (OCHRE), a web-based reporting tool. No individual level client data will be supplied to either the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) or the Commonwealth Department of Health. For the purposes of the IPHC DSS, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary health care is defined as: “…socially and culturally appropriate, universally accessible, scientifically sound, first level care. It is provided by health services and systems with a suitably trained workforce comprised of multidisciplinary teams supported by integrated referral systems in a way that: gives priority to those most in need and addresses health inequalities; maximises community and individual self-reliance, participation and control and; involves collaboration and partnership with other sectors to promote public health. Comprehensive primary health care includes health promotion, illness prevention, treatment, and care of the sick, community development, advocacy, and rehabilitation services.” This definition has been endorsed by the Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance of the Northern Territory (AMSANT), the Australian General Practice Network (AGPN), the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI), and the Australian Medical Association (AMA). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary health care services include: 1. Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service (ACCHS): primary health care services initiated and operated by the local Aboriginal community to deliver holistic, comprehensive, and culturally appropriate health care to the community which controls it (through a locally elected Board of Management); and 2. Other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary health care services: health services funded principally to provide services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals with funding provided by the federal and/or state or territory governments. These non community-controlled services mainly exist in the Northern Territory and northern part of Queensland. Services use a clinical audit tool program for extracting and aggregating data from their patient information and recall systems. The IPHC DSS has been written to inform this program. Once aggregated, the data will be sent to the AIHW via the OATSIH Community Health Reporting Environment (OCHRE), a web-based reporting tool with an ‘in-confidence’ security classification. The IPHC DSS includes aggregate data only; it does not include data elements describing any details relating to or arising from individual client visits, at the client visit level, e.g. blood pressure measurements, body mass index (BMI) values and so on. Aggregate data will initially be collected from a limited number of primary health care services, i.e. those funded by the Office for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (OATSIH) via the Healthy for Life program. From mid-2012, data collection was extended to the remainder of services funded by OATSIH to deliver primary health care. From mid-2013, data collection will be expanded to also include state- and territory-funded Indigenous-specific primary health care services not funded by OATSIH. © Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 2015 Metadata and Classifications Unit Australian Institute of Health and Welfare GPO Box 570 Canberra ACT 2601

Data set specification specific attributes Indigenous primary health care DSS 2014-15 DSS specific information: In the Indigenous primary health care DSS, this data element will be applied up to 3 times to calculate the number of women who have had a cervical screening within the last 2 years, the last 3 years and the last 5 years. This data element will firstly be used to calculate the number of women who answered 'yes' to having had a cervical screening within the last 5 years. From this data, the data element will be used again but will collect data on the number of women who had a cervical screening within the last 3 years. Finally, the data element will be applied again but will calculate the number of women who had a cervical screening within the last 2 years. This item is only collected if the respondent is female and aged 20 to 69 years. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Comments: Currently, the screening test for cervical cancer is the Pap test (the terms Pap test and Pap smear are often used interchangeably), which is carried out by a general practitioner, nurse, or gynaecologist. During a Pap test, cells are collected from the surface of the cervix, transferred onto a slide or into a special liquid, and sent to a pathology laboratory for assessment. Details of the woman, the Pap test results, and any follow-up that may be recommended are then stored on a cervical cytology register (AIHW 2009). Early detection and treatment of cervical cancer leads to a reduction of morbidity and mortality due to the disease. It is recommended that women aged 18-69 years, who have ever had sex, have a cervical screening every two years (DoH 2013).

Absolute cardiovascular disease risk assessment recorded indicator
Description

Person—absolute cardiovascular disease risk assessment recorded indicator, yes/no code N Identifying and definitional attributes Short name: Absolute cardiovascular disease risk assessment recorded indicator Synonymous names: Absolute CVD risk assessment recorded indicator METeOR identifier: 503024 Registration status: Health, Superseded 13/03/2015 Indigenous, Archived 13/03/2015 Definition: An indicator of whether a person has had an absolute cardiovascular disease risk (CVD) assessment recorded, as represented by a code. Data Element Concept: Person—absolute cardiovascular disease risk assessment recorded indicator Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Boolean Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Yes 2 No Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: CODE 1 Yes A person has had an absolute cardiovascular disease risk assessment recorded. CODE 2 No A person has not had an absolute cardiovascular disease risk assessment recorded. Comments: An absolute cardiovascular disease risk assessment is the numerical probability of an event occurring within a specified period, expressed as a percentage (e.g. 5-year absolute risk of 15% means there is a 15% probability that the individual will experience a cardiovascular event within 5 years). It reflects a person's overall risk of CVD, as opposed to the traditional method that considers various risk factors, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure, in isolation. An assessment of CVD risk based on multiple risk factors is more accurate than an assessment of individual risk factors due to the cumulative effect of risk factors that may be additive or synergistic. Given that an absolute risk assessment provides a more accurate assessment of risk than individual risk factors, it is reasonable to expect that basing management decisions on this assessment will improve outcomes.

Context: Age is a core data element in a wide range of social, labour and demographic statistics. It is used in the analyses of service utilisation by age group and can be used as an assistance eligibility criterion. Data Element Concept: Person—age Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[NN] Maximum character length: 3 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 999 Unknown/not stated Unit of measure: Year Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Age in single years (if aged under one year, record as zero). If age (or date of birth) is unknown or not stated, and cannot be estimated, use Code 999. National community services and housing assistance data dictionary specific: If year of birth is known (but date of birth is not) use the date, 0101YYYY of the birth year to estimate age (where YYYY is the year of birth). National housing assistance data dictionary specific: In the housing assistance data collections age is calculated at 30 June for the corresponding year. Collection methods: Although collection of date of birth allows more precise calculation of age, this may not be feasible in some data collections, and alternative questions are: Age last birthday? What was ....... age last birthday? What is .......... age in complete years? Comments: National community services data dictionary specific: Different rules for reporting data may apply when estimating the Date of birth of children aged under 2 years since the rapid growth and development of children within this age group means that a child's development can vary considerably over the course of a year. Thus, more specific reporting of estimated age is recommended. Those who need to conduct data collections for children where age is collected in months, weeks, or days should do so in a manner that allows for aggregation of those results to this standard.

Body mass index—classification

Data Element Concept: Person—body mass index (classification) Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N[.N] Maximum character length: 2 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Not overweight or obese 1.1 Underweight 1.2 Normal range 18.50 - 24.99 Average 2 Overweight >= 25.00 Average 2.1 Overweight >= 25.0 Average 2.2 Pre Obese 25.00 - 29.99 Increased 3 Obese >= 30 Increased 3.1 Obese class 1 30.00 - 34.99 Moderate 3.2 Obese class 2 35.00 - 39.99 Severe 3.3 Obese class 3 >= 40.00 Very severe Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Adults: Body mass index for adults cannot be calculated if components necessary for its calculation (weight or height) is unknown or has not been collected (i.e. is coded to 888.8 or 999.9). BMI for adults is categorised according to the range it falls within as indicated by codes 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 9.9. For consistency, when the sample includes children and adolescents, adults can be analysed under the broader categories of 1, 2, 3 or 9 as used for categorising children and adolescents. Children/adolescents: Body mass index for children and adolescents aged 2 to 17 years cannot be calculated if components necessary for its calculation (date of birth, sex, weight or height) is unknown or has not been collected (i.e. is coded to 888.8, 999.9 or 9). Self-reported or parentally reported height and weight for children and adolescents should be used cautiously if at all. To determine overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, compare the derived BMI against those recorded for the relevant age and sex of the subject to be classified, against Table 1: Classification of BMI for children and adolescents, based on BMI cut-points developed by Cole et al (see below). For example, an 11 year old boy with a BMI of 21 would be considered overweight (i.e. coded as 2), or a 7 year old girl with a BMI of 17.5 would be considered not overweight or obese (i.e. coded as 1). Using this method, children and adolescents can only be coded as 1, 2, 3 or 9. Collection methods: Use N for BMI category determined (1, 2, 3 or 9) for persons (children and adolescents) aged 2 to 17 years. Use N.N for BMI category determined (1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 9.9) for persons aged 18 years or older. Standard definitions of overweight and obesity in terms of BMI are used to derive age-specific and age-adjusted indicators of overweight and obesity for reporting progress towards National public health policy .

It is recommended for use in population surveys and health care settings for adults and population surveys only for children and adolescents. It is recommended that calculated BMI for children and adolescents be compared with a suitable growth reference such as the US Centers for Disease Control 2000 BMI- for-age chart in health care settings such as hospitals, clinics and in general practice. A BMI greater than the 85th percentile would be classified as overweight, while a BMI greater than the 95th percentile would be classified as obese. These percentiles are arbitrary and do not relate to morbidity as the BMI cut-points do in adults. BMI can be considered to provide the most useful, albeit crude, population-level measure of obesity. The robust nature of the measurements and the widespread routine inclusion of weights and heights in clinical and population health surveys mean that a more selective measure of adiposity, such as skinfold thickness measurements, provides additional rather than primary information. BMI can be used to estimate the prevalence of obesity within a population and the risks associated with it, but does not, however, account for the wide variation in the nature of obesity between different individuals and populations (WHO 2000). BMI values for adults are age-independent and the same for both sexes. However, BMI values for children and adolescents aged 2 to 17 years are age and sex specific and are classified by comparing against the above table, Table 1: Classification of BMI for children and adolescents. For adults and children and adolescents BMI may not correspond to the same degree of fatness in different populations due, in part, to differences in body proportions. The classification table shows a simplistic relationship between BMI and the risk of comorbidity, which can be affected by a range of factors, including the nature of the diet, ethnic group and activity level. The risks associated with increasing BMI are continuous and graded and begin at a BMI of 25 (or equivalent to 25 for children and adolescents). The interpretation of BMI grades in relation to risk may differ for different populations. Both BMI and a measure of fat distribution (waist circumference or waist: hip ratio in adults) are important in calculating the risk of obesity comorbidities. It is recommended that in population surveys, sociodemographic data including ethnicity should be collected, as well as other risk factors including physiological status (e.g. pregnancy), physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption. Summary statistics may need to be adjusted for these variables. National health metadata items currently exist for sex, date of birth, country of birth, Indigenous Status and smoking. Metadata items are being developed for physical activity. Presentation of data: Methods used to establish cut-off points for overweight have been arbitrary and, as a result, cut-off points vary between countries. The data are derived mainly from studies of mortality and morbidity risk performed in people living in western Europe or the United States of America, and cut-off points for BMI as an indicator of adiposity and risk in populations who differ in body build and genetic disposition are likely to vary. Caution is required in relation to BMI cut-off points when used for different ethnic groups because of limited outcome data for some ethnic groups, e.g. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As with overweight the cut-off points for a given level of risk are likely to vary with body build, genetic background and physical activity. The classification above is different to ones that have been used in the past and it is important that in any trend analysis consistent definitions are used. BMI should not be rounded before categorisation to the classification above.

This same principle applies where a history of either Impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) or Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and a current history and Type 2 diabetes, then record 'Code 2' Type 2 diabetes. CODE 01 Type 1 diabetes Beta-cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency. Includes those cases attributed to an autoimmune process, as well as those with beta-cell destruction and who are prone to ketoacidosis for which neither an aetiology nor pathogenesis is known (idiopathic). It does not include those forms of beta-cell destruction or failure to which specific causes can be assigned (e.g. cystic fibrosis, mitochondrial defects). Some subjects with Type 1 diabetes can be identified at earlier clinical stages than 'diabetes mellitus'. CODE 02 Type 2 diabetes Type 2 includes the common major form of diabetes, which results from defect(s) in insulin secretion, almost always with a major contribution from insulin resistance. CODE 03 Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) GDM is a carbohydrate intolerance resulting in hyperglycaemia of variable severity with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. The definition applies irrespective of whether or not insulin is used for treatment or the condition persists after pregnancy. Diagnosis is to be based on the Australian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society (ADIPS) Guidelines. CODE 04 Other (secondary diabetes) This categorisation include less common causes of diabetes mellitus, but are those in which the underlying defect or disease process can be identified in a relatively specific manner. They include, for example, genetic defects of beta-cell function, genetic defects in insulin action, diseases of the exocrine pancreas, endocrinopathies, drug or chemical-induced, infections, uncommon forms of immune-mediated diabetes, other genetic syndromes sometimes associated with diabetes. CODE 05 Previous GDM Where the person has a history of GDM. CODE 06 Impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) IFG or 'non-diabetic fasting hyperglycaemia' refers to fasting glucose concentrations, which are lower than those required to diagnose diabetes mellitus but higher than the normal reference range. An individual is considered to have IFG if they have a fasting plasma glucose of 6.1 or greater and less than 7.0 mmol/L if challenged with an oral glucose load, they have a fasting plasma glucose concentration of 6.1 mmol/L or greater, but less than 7.0 mmol/L, AND the 2 hour value in the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) is less than 7.8 mmol/L. CODE 07 Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) IGT is categorised as a stage in the natural history of disordered carbohydrate metabolism; subjects with IGT have an increased risk of progressing to diabetes. IGT refers to a metabolic state intermediate between normal glucose homeostasis and diabetes. Those individuals with IGT manifest glucose intolerance only when challenged with an oral glucose load. IGT is diagnosed if the 2 hour value in the OGTT is greater than 7.8 mmol/L. and less than 11.1 mmol/L AND the fasting plasma glucose concentration is less than 7.0 mmol/L. CODE 08 Not diagnosed with diabetes The subject has no known diagnosis of Type 1, Type 2, GDM, Previous GDM, IFG, IGT or Other (secondary diabetes). CODE 09 Not assessed The subject has not had their diabetes status assessed. CODE 99 Not stated/inadequately described This code is for unknown or information unavailable.

This item is only collected for persons who have Type II diabetes. DSS specific information: In the Indigenous primary health care DSS, this data element relates to glycosylated haemoglobin measurement results recorded within the previous 6 months and within the previous 12 months. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Prior to 2013, glycosylated haemoglobin levels were usually recorded as a percentage in Australia. However, the International HbA1c Consensus Committee recommends that the best way to record glycosylated haemoglobin levels is in mmol/mol. This recommendation was supported by the Australasian Association of Clinical Biochemists, the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia, the Australian Diabetes Educators Association, and the Australian Diabetes Society. Following this, HbA1c results are now being recorded in two ways in clinical systems; as a percentage and as mmol/mol. HbA1c results should be reported for all clients, regardless of the manner in which their HbA1c is recorded. Comments: Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is an index of average blood glucose level for the previous 2 to 3 months and is used to monitor blood sugar control in people with diabetes.

Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: CODE 1 Yes A GP Management Plan has been claimed for a person. CODE 2 No A GP Management Plan has not been claimed for a person. Comments: The Chronic Disease Management Medicare items on the Medicare Benefits Schedule enable GPs to plan and coordinate the health care of patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions. This item is designed for patients who require a structured approach to their care. To be eligible for a GP Management Plan (GPMP) a patient must have a chronic (or terminal) medical condition; one that has been or is likely to be present for 6 months or longer, including, but not limited to asthma, cancer, cardiovascular illness, diabetes mellitus and musculoskeletal conditions (DoH 2014a). A GPMP is required by legislation to be a comprehensive written plan that describes: · the patient’s health care needs, health problems and relevant conditions · management goals with which the patient agrees · actions to be taken by the patient · treatment and services the patient is likely to need · arrangements for providing these treatment and services · a date to review these matters (DoH 2014b). This chronic disease management service is for a patient who has at least one medical condition that: (a) has been (or is likely to be) present for at least six months; or (b) is terminal (DoH 2011).

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—regular client indicator Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Boolean Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Yes 2 No Data set specification specific attributes Indigenous primary health care DSS 2014-15 DSS specific information: In the Indigenous primary health care DSS, a regular client is someone who has 'an active medical record'. According to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), an active medical record 'is a record of a patient who has attended the practice 3 or more times in the last two years'. Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: CODE 1 Yes A person is a regular client of the organisation or agency. CODE 2 No A person is not a regular client of the organisation or agency. Collection methods: The definition of a regular client can vary depending on the context and/or collection in which the term is being applied, but generally involves a minimum number of visits to an organisation or agency or uses of a facility, occurring over a specific period of time. For example, in the primary health care context a regular client may be someone who has visited a particular primary health care provider 3 or more times in the last 2 years. In some cases, a visit may be further defined as an attendance at the organisation or agency that leads to either the creation of a new client record or the updating of an existing client record in the client management system of the organisation or agency. The applicable number of visits to the organisation or agency and the period of time over which those visits need to take place in order for a person to be identified as a regular client should be specified in an appropriate data set specific instruction.

Data Element Concept: Person—sex Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: N Maximum character length: 1 Permissible values: Value Meaning 1 Male 2 Female 3 Intersex or indeterminate Supplementary values: 9 Not stated/inadequately described Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Diagnosis and procedure codes should be checked against the national ICD-10-AM sex edits, unless the person is undergoing, or has undergone a sex change or has a genetic condition resulting in a conflict between sex and ICD-10-AM code. 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.

Comments: The Chronic Disease Management Medicare items on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) enable GPs to plan and coordinate the health care of patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions, including patients with these conditions who require multidisciplinary, team-based care from a GP and at least two other health or care providers. The items are designed for patients who require a structured approach to their care. A ‘chronic medical condition’ is one that has been or is likely to be present for at least six months, including but not limited to asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and musculoskeletal conditions (DoH 2014a). Team Care Arrangements (TCAs) are required by legislation to include a document that describes: · treatment and service goals for the patient · treatment and services that collaborating providers will provide to the patient · actions to be taken by the patient · a date to review these matters (DoH 2014b). This chronic disease management service is for a patient who: (a) has at least one medical condition that: i. has been (or is likely to be) present for at least six months; or ii. is terminal; and (b) requires ongoing care from at least three collaborating health or care providers, each of whom provides a different kind of treatment or service to the patient, and at least one of whom is a medical practitioner (DoH 2011).

Data Element Concept: Service provider organisation (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.

Data Element Concept: Service provider organisation (address)—Australian postcode Value domain attributes Representational attributes Classification scheme: Postcode datafile Representation class: Code Data type: Number Format: {NNNN} Maximum character length: 4 Collection and usage attributes Comments: Postcode - Australian may be used in the analysis of data on a geographical basis, which involves a conversion from postcodes to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) postal areas. This conversion results in some inaccuracy of information. However, in some data sets postcode is the only geographic identifier, therefore the use of other more accurate indicators (e.g. Statistical Local Area (SLA)) is not always possible. When dealing with aggregate data, postal areas, converted from postcodes, can be mapped to Australian Standard Geographical Classification codes using an ABS concordance, for example to determine SLAs. It should be noted that such concordances should not be used to determine the SLA of any individual's postcode. Where individual street addresses are available, these can be mapped to ASGC codes (e.g. SLAs).

Data Element Concept: Service provider organisation—full-time equivalent staff Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[NNN{.N}] Maximum character length: 5 Unit of measure: Full-time equivalent (FTE) staff Unit of measure precision: 1 Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Calculated number of staff (full-time equivalents) for each staffing category. The ordinary time hours normally worked may differ according to the type of work. The hours under the relevant award or agreement should be used if known. If the relevant award or agreement staff hours for an occupation is not known, or the worker is undertaking a variety of tasks, 38 hours per week should be used as a substitute. Hours of unpaid leave are to be excluded. Contract staff employed through an agency are included where the contract is for the supply of labour (e.g. nursing) rather than of products (e.g. provision of photocopies). In the former case, the contract would normally specify the amount of labour supplied and could be reported as full-time equivalent units. If under the relevant award of agreement a full-time nurse is paid for an 80 (ordinary time) hour fortnight, the full-time equivalent for a part-time nurse who works 64 hours is 0.8 (64 divided by 80). If a full-time nurse 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. This number would then be added to the full-time equivalent staff units for all other staff and the number rounded to one decimal place. 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). Collection methods: This metadata item is not intended to be a completely accurate calculation of staff hours, but a general indication of the number of hours an agency is staffed by paid staff.

Data Element Concept: Service provider organisation—number of service operation days Value domain attributes Representational attributes Representation class: Total Data type: Number Format: N[N] Maximum character length: 2 Supplementary values: Value Meaning 90 No regular pattern of operation through a week 99 Not stated/inadequately described Unit of measure: Day Data element attributes Collection and usage attributes Guide for use: Record whole numbers only rounded up to the nearest whole day, for the total number of days per week on which the agency provides any service to service users. An agency is considered to be operating whenever service is provided to service users (e.g. if an agency is open for 4 days per week for service provision to service users, and 1 day per week for management/administration then the agency should indicate that it operates 4 days per week). The service must be provided by the agency but not necessarily from its physical setting. For example 'own home respite' that is arranged by an agency to occur on a particular day on which the office of that agency is not open still counts as a day of operation for that agency. When an agency is available for service users on a day but does not provide services to service users on that day it should still be counted as a day of operation. For example, an agency may be open for service, such as an advocacy service, but no service users are seen. Services which have no regular weekly pattern of operation should record code 90 'no regular pattern of operation through a week'. This includes, for example, cases where a service will be made available to a service user after hours only upon request (e.g. staff on call).
