Hospitals—inpatients
(Question No 1943)

Mr Hanson asked the Minister for Health, upon notice, on 7 December 2011:

What was the total number of inpatients admitted to The Canberra Hospital and Calvary Public Hospital that were residing in residential aged care facilities in 2010-11.

Ms Gallagher: I am advised that the answer to the Member’s question is as follows:

In 2010-11 Canberra Hospital recorded 387 patients admitted who were recorded as residing in a residential aged care facility.

In 2010-11 Calvary Public Hospital recorded 4 patients admitted who were recorded as residing in a residential aged care facility.

Measuring the number of patients admitted who reside in a residential aged care facility is difficult to obtain.

Under national reporting standards, our hospitals record the place from where patients were admitted to hospital. A patient admitted to hospital from a residential aged care facility can be interpreted as a person’s home and therefore entered as such in the patient administration system.

The Health Directorate is in discussions with Calvary Public Hospital about improving the reporting of this information.
