Subject: Right to Information request - Hospital activity data for the
last 5 years (FY11/12 - FY15/16)

 

Dear Queensland Department of Health,

 

If possible, please treat this as an administrative or informal request.
Otherwise, please consider this a request under the FOI Act.

 

I am trying to understand activity levels in our public health system,
specifically in acute HHS hospitals. I have searched online for this data
and recent data is not available, nor is there a source where I am able to
see trends over a significant time period and compare this for various HHS
acute hospitals.

 

I would like to request the following data for each HHS's in Queensland. I
would ideally like this data for a period of the last 5 financial years so
I can look at trends.

 

Emergency Department monthly data by urgency category for the following:

- Number of attendances

- Patients seen within clinically recommended times

- Median waiting time to treatment (in minutes)

- Percentage of patients who did not wait for treatment

- Patients admitted to an inpatient bed

- Patients whose ED stay was within four hours

- Number of patients who left after treatment commenced

- Percentage of patients who left after treatment commenced

- Number of patients who did not wait for treatment

 

Monthly elective surgery information by urgency category -Number of
patients treated -Variation in number of patients treated -Patients
treated within the clinically recommended time -Number of patients waiting

- Number of patients waiting longer than the clinically recommended time –
ready for surgery

- Number of patients waiting longer than the clinically recommended time –
not ready for surgery -Patients waiting within the clinically recommended
time – ready for surgery

 

Monthly elective surgery information on patients treated in turn

- Category 2 and 3 patients treated in turn

 

Monthly elective surgery information by surgical specialty -Number of
patients treated -Variation in number of patients treated -Patients
treated within the clinically recommended time -Number of patients waiting
-Number of patients waiting longer than the clinically recommended time –
ready for surgery -Number of patients waiting longer than the clinically
recommended time – not ready for surgery -Patients waiting within the
clinically recommended time – ready for surgery

 

Quarterly elective surgery information by urgency category -Median waiting
time to treatment (days) -90th percentile waiting time to treatment (days)

 

Quarterly elective surgery information by surgical specialty -Median
waiting time to treatment (days) -90th percentile waiting time to
treatment (days)

 

Quarterly hospital activity information -Patient admissions -Same day
admissions -Overnight admissions -Emergency admissions -Outpatient
services -Babies born

 

Quarterly information for Specialist Outpatients -Patients waiting for an
initial service event in a specialist outpatient clinic (non-surgical &
surgical) -% Patients waiting within the clinically recommended time (by
clinic specialty)

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Roy Elliot
