Collection and usage attributes | |||||||||
Statistical unit: | There is a hierarchy of statistical units used within the LHN NBEDS. Information is provided at each level:
In the LHN NBEDS, the term 'establishment' is used to refer to entities reporting at each of the hierarchical levels. Thus, for the purposes of this collection, 'establishment' refers to Local Hospital Networks and state and territory health authorities. | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Guide for use: | The following are principles of the collection. Jurisdictions should consider these principles when providing data.
Actual expenditure and revenue data are expected to be reported at the level at which they appear in the general ledger. Expenditure and revenue data are not expected to be apportioned to a lower level. Expenditure and revenue data reported to the LHN NBEDS should reconcile with published financial statements. Expenditure data are reported in two ways:
The total expenditure by product stream should equal the total expenditure by general ledger line item at both levels of the hierarchy. For the purposes of the LHN NBEDS, funding from the Commonwealth, state and territory health authorities and other state and territory government departments is considered to be revenue and should be reported as such. | ||||||||
Collection methods: | Some data for this NBEDS are sourced from the state or territory health authority general ledger. Some other data are maintained by the LHN and are forwarded to the relevant state or territory health authority for inclusion. National reporting arrangements State and territory health authorities provide the data to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare for national collation, on an annual basis. Periods for which data are collected and nationally collated Financial years ending 30 June each year. | ||||||||

Comments: | Interaction with the Public hospital establishments NMDS The Public hospital establishments NMDS and the LHN NBEDS work together to collect data on the public hospital system. The two data set specifications collect the same expenditure and revenue data items, but at different levels of the system:
It is expected that expenditure and revenue data will be reported at the level at which they occur. In addition to the shared expenditure and revenue data items, each collection has a number of unique items. The PHE NMDS includes items such as establishment location, establishment type and specialised service indicators that do not appear in the LHN NBEDS. Similarly, the LHN NBEDS includes gross and net capital expenditure items that do not appear in the PHE NMDS. It is intended that once the LHN NBEDS is firmly established, the two collections should be merged into a single NMDS. Scope links with Health NMDSs The LHN NBEDS shares scope with the Government health expenditure NMDS. | ||||||||
