Hospital Throughput 1999/00For DHBs and their Hospitals
Date of publication: May 2002
Hospital Throughput 1999/00, the fifth report in this annual series, provides a summary of publicly funded medical and surgical secondary care, as recorded on the National Minimum Dataset (NMDS) data. The bulk of these services are provided by public hospitals. Some publicly funded care is provided by private hospitals; this output is captured here.
Information is presented for the 1999/00 year, covering the period 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2000 inclusive, as well as for previous financial years. The data includes services funded by both the HFA, and the Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation (ACC), the latter being responsible for purchasing elective treatment for people as a result of an accident or injury For accidents and injuries deemed to be covered by the Accident Insurance Act 1998.
The following information is included in this report:
- National services. This includes medical, surgical and total throughput volumes, discharges by Major Diagnostic Category (MDCs), and information for the 20 highest volume Australian National Diagnosis Related Groups (AN-DRGs), version 3.1. MDCs are derived from the AN-DRGs.
- Geographic analysis. Volumes by district health board (DHB) regions of the patient’s residence. DHB regions are defined exactly by amalgamating territorial local authority (TLA) boundaries except that Ruapehu is split between Waikato and Whanganui, Kapiti Coast is split between Capital and Coast and MidCentral, and Queenstown-Lakes authority is split between Southland and Otago. DHB boundaries and names are shown on the next page. For further details refer to Appendix 1, Table A1.1.
- Provider type. Volumes are presented for each of the 21 DHB providers, as well as aggregate information for non-DHB (private) providers.
The report should be of interest to the following groups:
- all funders and providers of health care in New Zealand
- administrators of health care facilities
- health care professionals
- consultants and researchers, whether academic or commercial, working in the health area.
The report should be of particular relevance to providers of health care, providing an indication of their performance relative to a national benchmark.
