Canberra Hospital—comparative costs

Ms Stephen-Smith (in reply to a question and supplementary questions by Mr Coe and Mrs Dunne on Tuesday, 17 September 2019):

Questions 1 and 2:

Data for the purposes of comparisons across peer group hospitals is obtained by the ACT Health Directorate from the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority’s (IHPA) Benchmarking Portal. The most recent data is for 2016 17. IHPA advises that it expects the 2017-18 cost report will be published on the IHPA website in March 2020.

Table 1 below summarises the results for the 2016-17 cost comparisons for both Canberra Hospital (labelled CHS), Calvary Public Hospital Bruce (CPHB) and for the ACT overall.

Both CHS and CPHB are both grouped under the same peer group in the IHPA data, namely A1 Principal Referral hospital: ‘Major cities hospitals with >20,000 acute casemix-adjusted separations, and Regional hospitals with >16,000 acute casemix-adjusted separations per annum’.
