AIHW - Patient Experiences - Adults who saw a GP for Urgent Medical Care (%) (PHN) 2013-2017

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of adults who saw a GP for urgent medical care in the preceding 12 months. The data spans the years of 2013-2017 and is aggregated to 2015 Department of Health Primary Health Network (PHN) areas, based on the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).\n\nThe data is sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2016-17 Patient Experience Survey, collected between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2017. It also includes data from previous Patient Experience Surveys conducted in 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16. The Patient Experience Survey is conducted annually by the ABS and collects information from a representative sample of the Australian population. The Patient Experience Survey is one of several components of the Multipurpose Household Survey, as a supplement to the monthly Labour Force Survey. The Patient Experience Survey collects data on persons aged 15 years and over, who are referred to as adults for this data collection.\n\nFor further information about this dataset, visit the data source:[Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Patient experiences in Australia Data Tables.](https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/primary-health-care/patient-experiences-in-australia-in-2016-17/data)\n\nPlease note:\n\n * AURIN has spatially enabled the original data using the [Department of Health - PHN Areas.](https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/PHN-Home)\n\n * Percentages are calculated based on counts that have been randomly adjusted by the ABS to avoid the release of confidential data.\n\n * As an indication of the accuracy of estimates, 95% confidence intervals were produced. These were calculated by the ABS using standard error estimates of the proportion.\n\n * Some of the patient experience measures for 2016-17 have age-standardised rates presented. Age-standardised rates are hypothetical rates that would have been observed if the populations studied had the same age distribution as the standard population.\n\n * Crude rates are provided for all years. They should be used for understanding the patterns of actual service use or level of experience in a particular PHN.\n\n * The Patient Experience Survey excludes persons aged less than 15 years, persons living in non-private dwellings and the Indigenous Community Strata (encompassing discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities).\n\n * Data for Northern Territory should be interpreted with caution as the Patient Experience Survey excluded the Indigenous Community Strata, which comprises around 25% of the estimated resident population of the Northern Territory living in private dwellings.\n\n * Rows that contain a "#" in "Interpret with Caution" indicates that the estimate has a relative standard error of 25% to 50%, which indicates a high level of sampling error relative to its value and must be taken into account when comparing this estimate with other values.\n\n * NP - Not available for publication. The estimate is considered to be unreliable. Values assigned to NP in the original data have been set to null.\n

本数据集呈现了过去12个月内因急诊医疗服务就诊全科医生（General Practitioner，GP）的成年人占比情况。数据覆盖2013至2017年，聚合至2015年澳大利亚卫生与健康部基层医疗网络（Primary Health Network，PHN）区域，该区域划分基于2011年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard，ASGS）。

本数据集的数据来源于澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics，ABS）2016-17年度患者体验调查，该调查于2016年7月1日至2017年6月30日期间开展。同时纳入了2013-14、2014-15及2015-16年度开展的既往患者体验调查数据。患者体验调查由澳大利亚统计局每年开展一次，通过对澳大利亚人口的代表性样本采集相关信息。该调查作为月度劳动力调查的补充模块，是多用途住户调查（Multipurpose Household Survey）的组成部分之一。本次数据采集将15岁及以上人群定义为成年人，患者体验调查针对该群体收集数据。

请注意：

* 澳大利亚城市与区域研究基础设施网络（Australian Urban and Regional Information Infrastructure，AURIN）已通过[澳大利亚卫生与健康部——PHN区域划分标准](https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/PHN-Home)对原始数据完成空间适配处理。

* 百分比计算基于澳大利亚统计局为避免泄露机密数据而进行随机调整后的计数结果。

* 为表征估算结果的准确性，本次调查生成了95%置信区间，该区间由澳大利亚统计局通过比例的标准误估算得出。

* 2016-17年度的部分患者体验指标已采用年龄标准化率进行呈现。年龄标准化率是指，当研究人群的年龄分布与标准人口完全一致时，理论上可观测到的率值。

* 所有年度均提供了粗率数据，该数据可用于理解特定PHN区域内实际的医疗服务使用模式或体验水平。

* 患者体验调查未纳入15岁以下人群、非私人住宅居住者以及原住民社区阶层（涵盖独立的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民社区）。

* 北领地的数据需谨慎解读，因为患者体验调查未纳入原住民社区阶层，而该阶层约占北领地私人住宅居住估计常住人口的25%。

* “谨慎解读”列中带有“#”的行，表示对应估算值的相对标准误差为25%至50%，相较于其数值本身，该抽样误差水平较高，在将该估算值与其他数值进行比较时需予以考虑。

* NP：不予公开。该估算值被认定为不可靠。原始数据中标记为NP的数值已被设置为空值。
