VPRS 16816 In-patient Admission and Discharge Register

The information recorded in these volumes includes patient serial and record numbers, date of admission, patient's name and exact age, place of birth, religion, ward to which admitted, address, disease, attendant surgeon, date sent to and returned from [Brighton] convalescent cottage, date of discharge or outcome (if died), number of days in hospital and remarks. Entries are arranged in chronological order. Recordkeeping practices changed in 1950 and while the registers and the patient record numbers continued the additional information ceased to be included after this date. The volumes between 1950 and 1988 were therefore deemed to be temporary records and were not transferred to PROV.Prior to transfer to Public Record Office Victoria, the records in this series were maintained as part of the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) Archives. They were part of RCH accession number 1996/001.

本批次卷宗所记录的信息涵盖患者序列号与记录编号、入院日期、患者姓名与精确年龄、出生地、宗教信仰、收治科室、住址、所患疾病、主管外科医师、送往及返回[布莱顿]康复小屋的日期、出院日期或转归情况（若患者死亡则记录死亡结局）、住院天数及备注信息。条目按时间顺序排列。1950年起档案记录规范发生变更，尽管登记簿与患者记录编号仍延续沿用，但此后不再收录额外信息。因此1950年至1988年的卷宗被认定为临时档案，未移交至维多利亚公共档案馆（Public Record Office Victoria，简称PROV）。在移交至维多利亚公共档案馆之前，本系列档案隶属于皇家儿童医院（Royal Children's Hospital，简称RCH）档案库，属于RCH入藏编号1996/001的档案组成部分。
