AIHW - Patient Experiences - Adults who Reported they were Covered by Private Health Insurance (%) (PHN) 2015-2016

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of adults who reported they were covered by private health insurance in the preceding 12 months, by Primary Health Network (PHN) area. The data spans the years of 2015-2016 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 * 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

本数据集展示了按主要健康网络（Primary Health Network, PHN）区域划分的、报告过去12个月内享有私人健康保险的成年人占比情况。数据覆盖2015-2016年，聚合至2015年卫生部主要健康网络区域，统计基准基于2011年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）。

本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。此外还纳入了2013-14、2014-15及2015-16年度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举办，通过对澳大利亚人口的代表性抽样采集信息，作为月度劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey）补充项目的多用途住户调查（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，调查对象即为此类群体。

请注意：
* 澳大利亚城市与区域研究基础设施网络（Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network, AURIN）已借助[卫生部——PHN区域](https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/PHN-Home)对原始数据完成空间化适配处理。
* 百分比的计算基于澳大利亚统计局随机调整后的统计计数，以避免泄露保密数据。
* 为表征估计值的准确性，研究生成了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计值计算得到。
* 2016-17年度的部分患者体验指标已采用年龄标准化率呈现。年龄标准化率是指当研究人群的年龄分布与标准人群一致时，理论上可观测到的比率。
* 所有年份均提供粗率，可用于理解特定PHN区域内实际服务使用模式或体验水平。
* 患者体验调查排除了15岁以下人群、非私人住宅居住者以及原住民社区层级（涵盖离散的澳大利亚原住民与托雷斯海峡岛民社区）的人群。
* 北领地的数据需谨慎解读，因患者体验调查未纳入原住民社区层级人群，该群体约占北领地私人住宅居住估计常住人口的25%。
* NP——不予公开出版。该估计值被认为不可靠。原始数据中标记为NP的数值已被设置为空值。
