NATIONAL HOSPITAL MORBIDITY DATABASE
CONTACT DETAILS Data custodian: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Telephone: (02) 6244 1000 Email: info@aihw.gov.au Web Address: https://www.aihw.gov.au/ DESCRIPTION The National Hospital Morbidity Database (NHMD) collects information about care provided to admitted patients in Australian hospitals. Family violence can result in victims needing to be hospitalised for treatment. The NHMD records episodes of care for assault in Australian hospitals. COLLECTION HISTORY Collection commenced: 1993-4 Break in series: None Other details: COLLECTION METHODOLOGY The NHMD is compiled from data supplied by state and territory health authorities and covers all (admitted) episodes of care in Australian hospitals. It is a collection of electronic confidentialised summary records for separations (that is, episodes of care) in public and private hospitals in Australia. SCOPE AND COVERAGE The NHMD is a compilation of episode-level records from admitted patient morbidity data collection systems in Australian hospitals. It is a comprehensive dataset that has records for all episodes of admitted patient care from essentially all public and private hospitals in Australia. A record is included for each separation, not for each patient, so patients who separated more than once in the year have more than one record in the NHMD. The scope of the NHMD is episodes of care for admitted patients in all public and private acute and psychiatric hospitals, free-standing day hospital facilities and alcohol and drug treatment centres in Australia. Hospitals operated by the Australian Defence Force, corrections authorities and in Australia’s off-shore territories are not in scope, but some are included. DEFINITION OF FAMILY AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Assault injury cases are those classified in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision, Australian Modification (ICD 10 AM) (NCCH 2012) as Assault (X85–Y09) or Legal intervention and operations of war (Y35–Y36). This includes all cases in which a person, or more than one person, intentionally injured another person. It does not include cases where the intent was unspecified, unstated or could not be determined. Family and domestic violence is determined by the relationship to the perpetrator. Where the perpetrator who caused the injuries being treated was a spouse or domestic partner, parent, or other family member, it is classified as family and domestic violence for publication purposes. DEFINITION OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE N/A DATA AVAILABILITY AND DISSEMINATION The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) provides a variety of products that draw upon the NHMD, including publications, data cubes, and summary tables published in electronic form.
