AIHW - Patient Experiences - Adults who saw a GP After Hours (%) (PHN) 2013-2017

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of adults who saw a GP after hours 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

本数据集收录了过去12个月内下班后就诊全科医生（General Practitioner, GP）的成年人占比的相关统计数据。数据覆盖2013至2017年时段，以2011年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）为基准，聚合至2015年澳大利亚卫生署基层医疗网络（Primary Health Network, PHN）辖区范围。

本数据集的数据来源于澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS）2016-2017年度患者体验调查（Patient Experience Survey），该调查的执行时段为2016年7月1日至2017年6月30日。同时纳入了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开展一次，通过澳大利亚人口的代表性样本采集相关信息。该调查作为月度劳动力调查的补充模块，是多用途住户调查（Multipurpose Household Survey）的组成部分之一。本次调查的采集对象为15周岁及以上人群，在本数据集的统计范畴内，该群体被定义为成年人。

请注意：

* AURIN已通过[卫生署基层医疗网络辖区范围](https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/PHN-Home)对原始数据完成空间适配处理。

* 占比数值基于澳大利亚统计局为避免泄露机密数据而进行随机调整后的计数结果计算得出。

* 为反映估算结果的准确性，本次统计生成了95%置信区间，该区间由澳大利亚统计局通过比例标准误估算方法计算得到。

* 2016-2017年度的部分患者体验指标采用了年龄标准化率（age-standardised rates）进行呈现。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完全一致时所观测到的比率。

* 所有年度的数据均提供了粗率（crude rates），可用于理解特定基层医疗网络辖区内的实际服务使用模式或体验水平。

* 患者体验调查的统计对象不包含15周岁以下人群、非私人住宅居住者以及原住民社区阶层（涵盖分散的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民社区）。

* 北领地的相关数据需谨慎解读，因为本次调查未纳入原住民社区阶层群体，而该群体约占北领地私人住宅居住预估常住人口的25%。

* 在"谨慎解读"列中带有"#"标记的数据行，代表其估算值的相对标准误差介于25%至50%之间，即相较于其数值本身，抽样误差水平较高，在将该估算值与其他数值进行对比时需充分考虑这一点。

* NP：表示不可公开发布，该估算结果被判定为不可靠。原始数据中标记为NP的数值已被设置为空值。
