AIHW - Patient Experiences - Adults who Needed to See a GP but Did Not (%) (PHN) 2013-2017

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of adults who needed to see a GP but did not 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个月内需就诊全科医生（General Practitioner，GP）却未就诊的成年人占比情况。数据覆盖2013至2017年，且按照2011年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard，ASGS）聚合至2015年卫生部基层卫生网络（Primary Health Network，PHN）辖区范围。

本数据集的数据来源为澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics，ABS）2016-2017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。此外还包含2013-2014、2014-2015及2015-2016年历次患者体验调查的数据。患者体验调查由澳大利亚统计局每年开展一次，通过具有代表性的澳大利亚人口样本收集相关信息。该调查作为月度劳动力调查的补充模块，属于多用途住户调查的组成部分之一。本次数据收集将15岁及以上人群定义为成年人，因此调查对象为15岁及以上人群。

请注意：

* 澳大利亚城市与区域信息网络（Australian Urban and Regional Information Network，AURIN）已依托[卫生部——PHN辖区](https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/PHN-Home)对原始数据进行空间化处理。

* 百分比的计算基于澳大利亚统计局进行过随机调整的统计计数，以避免泄露敏感数据。

* 为反映估计值的准确性，研究生成了95%置信区间。该区间由澳大利亚统计局利用比例的标准误估计值计算得到。

* 2016-2017年的部分患者体验指标已采用年龄标准化率呈现。年龄标准化率是一种假设性比率，即当研究人群的年龄分布与标准人口一致时所观测到的比率。

* 所有年份均提供粗率。粗率可用于理解特定PHN辖区内实际服务利用或体验水平的分布模式。

* 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分层群体（涵盖离散的原住民与托雷斯海峡岛民社区）。

* 北领地的数据需谨慎解读，因为患者体验调查排除了原住民社区分层群体，该群体约占北领地私人住宅内估计常住人口的25%。

* “谨慎解读”列中带有“#”的行，表示该估计值的相对标准误差介于25%至50%之间，说明其抽样误差相较于数值本身较高，在将该估计值与其他数值进行比较时需考虑这一因素。

* NP——不予公开发布。该估计值被认定为不可靠。原始数据中标记为NP的数值已被设置为空值。
