AIHW - Mental Health Services - Overnight Admitted Mental Health Separations (PHN) 2015-2016

This dataset presents the footprint of the number and rate of overnight admitted mental health-related separations and bed days, with and without specialised psychiatric care by patient location. Overnight admitted patient separations refers to those separations when a patient undergoes a hospital’s formal admission process, completes an episode of care, is in hospital for more than one day and ‘separates’ from the hospital. The data spans the financial year of 2015-2016 and is aggregated to 2017 Department of Health Primary Health Network (PHN) areas, based on the 2016 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).\n\nThe data is sourced from the National Hospital Morbidity Database (NHMD) which is a compilation of episode-level records from admitted patient morbidity data collections in Australian hospitals. It includes demographic, administrative and length of stay data for each hospital separation. Clinical information such as diagnoses, procedures undergone and external causes of injury and poisoning are also recorded.\n\nMental health services in Australia (MHSA) provides a picture of the national response of the health and welfare service system to the mental health care needs of Australians. MHSA is updated progressively throughout each year as data becomes available. The data accompanies the [Mental Health Services - In Brief 2018 Web Report](https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/mental-health-services/mental-health-services-in-australia-in-brief-2018/contents/table-of-contents).\n\nFor further information about this dataset, visit the data source:[Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Mental health services in Australia Data Tables](https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/mental-health-services/mental-health-services-in-australia/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 * Rates are directly age-standardised.\n\n * The analysis of bed days presented in this table excludes those separations with a length of stay greater than 365 days.\n\n * Separations with a care type of Newborn (without qualified days), and records for Hospital boarders and Posthumous organ procurement have been excluded.\n\n * It is possible for patients to have multiple separations in any given reference period.\n

本数据集涵盖了按患者就诊地区划分的、提供与未提供专科精神科护理的过夜住院精神健康相关出院人次与住院日数的规模及比率。其中，过夜住院患者出院（overnight admitted patient separations）指患者完成医院正式入院流程、完成一段诊疗周期且住院时长超过一日后出院的情况。本数据覆盖2015-2016财年，聚合至2017年卫生和体育部基层健康网络（Primary Health Network, PHN）区域，划分依据为2016年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）。

数据源自国家医院病案数据库（National Hospital Morbidity Database, NHMD），该数据库整合了澳大利亚各医院住院患者病案收集的诊疗记录层面数据。其包含每一例出院患者的人口统计学、行政管理信息及住院时长数据，同时还记录了诊断、实施的诊疗操作以及损伤与中毒的外部原因等临床信息。

澳大利亚精神健康服务（Mental health services in Australia, MHSA）展现了卫生与福利服务系统针对澳大利亚民众精神健康需求的全国性应对概况。MHSA会随着数据陆续更新，在每年内逐步完成内容更新。本数据配套《2018年精神健康服务简述网络报告》（https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/mental-health-services/mental-health-services-in-australia-in-brief-2018/contents/table-of-contents）。

请注意：
* AURIN已使用《卫生和体育部-PHN区域》（https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/PHN-Home）的地理信息对原始数据进行空间适配。
* 相关比率均为直接年龄标准化后的结果。
* 本表格中呈现的住院日数分析，排除了住院时长超过365天的出院人次。
* 新生儿（无有效住院日）类型的出院记录，以及医院寄宿者和死后器官获取相关记录均已被剔除。
* 患者在任一参考周期内可能存在多次出院人次。
