(a)<br />
(b)<br />
Based on all ‘in scope’ separations from State and Territory psychiatric inpatient units, defined as those for which it is meaningful to examine readmission rates.<br />
The following separations were excluded: same day separations; overnight separations that occur through discharge/transfer to another hospital; statistical<br />
discharge – type change; left against medical advice/discharge at own risk and death.<br />
Data for 2005-06 reflect full year activity. For 2006-07, the data are based <strong>only</strong> on the first 9 months of the year (full year data were not available within the<br />
COAG Report reporting timeframe).<br />
(c)<br />
For the purposes of this indicator, a readmission for any of the separations identified as ‘in-scope’ is defined as an admission to any another public psychiatric<br />
unit within the jurisdiction that occurs within 28 days of the date of the original separation.<br />
