By simultaneous assessment of service provision and health-economic data health services research can contribute to further optimising emergency services.
The regional population-based administrative database, SIP, collects and updates demographic data, health services assignment, and use of the NHS, for both residents and non-residents.
Despite these policy priorities, implementation lags far behind due to inadequate local disease prevalence data, health services research, and financial resources to drive these policies.
Adding self-reported health data to the baseline model that included only administrative data (health services use and demographic variables; c-statistic = 0.63) increased the model" predictive power (c-statistic = 0.70).
They received questionnaires collecting sociodemographic data, data about health service utilisation, prescriptions, comorbidities.
The programme is underpinned by the linkage of eight health administrative databases under the custodianship of the DVA and the New South Wales Ministry of Health, including cancer notifications, medicines dispensing data, hospitalisation data and health services data.
2. Survival, other adverse outcomes, laboratory data and health service utilisation: Data about survival, adverse outcomes, laboratory data and health service utilisation (including hospital admissions and length of stay) will also be collected from clinical records.
Health economic data include health service use, costs due to the intervention, and EQ-5D for calculation of Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYS).
We will collect longitudinal clinical data, patient/family-reported data, and health services use data for all children enrolled in our research program.
