AIHW - Mental Health Services - Overnight Admitted Mental Health Separations (SA3) 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 Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) geographic areas from the 2011 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.\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

本数据集呈现了按患者就诊地点划分的、有无专科精神卫生服务情形下，夜间住院精神卫生相关出院人次与住院日的数量及比率情况。其中，夜间住院患者出院（Overnight admitted patient separations）指患者完成医院正式入院流程、结束一段诊疗周期、住院时长超过一日并从医院出院的情形。本数据覆盖2015-2016财年，聚合自2011年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）下的三级统计区域（Statistical Area Level 3, SA3）。

本数据来源于国家医院病案数据库（National Hospital Morbidity Database, NHMD），该库整合了澳大利亚各医院住院患者病案数据的病例级记录，包含每一次出院的人口统计学信息、行政相关数据与住院时长数据，同时记录了诊断信息、实施的手术操作以及损伤与中毒的外部原因等临床信息。

澳大利亚精神卫生服务（Mental health services in Australia, MHSA）呈现了澳大利亚卫生与福利服务系统响应本国国民精神卫生保健需求的全国整体图景。MHSA会随年度内数据陆续更新而逐步完善。本数据集配套《2018年精神卫生服务概况网络报告》（https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/mental-health-services/mental-health-services-in-australia-in-brief-2018/contents/table-of-contents）。

请注意：
* 澳大利亚城市研究基础设施网络（Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network, AURIN）已对原始数据完成空间化适配处理。
* 比率均经过直接年龄标准化处理。
* 本表呈现的住院日分析排除了住院时长超过365天的出院人次。
* 新生儿护理类型（无有效住院日）的出院人次，以及医院寄宿者与遗体器官获取相关记录已被排除。
* 患者在任一参考周期内可能存在多次出院情况。
