Admitted patient separations (weighted) are separations adjusted for the resources required for different types of admitted patient care. Emergency department presentations are completed episodes of non-admitted patient care within the hospital's emergency department.

About the data: Data may vary from that previously published due to data reporting practices. COVID-19 impacted services, particularly in April 2020, resulting in deviations from trend in most data published on the health system dashboard.

Information on waiting times for outpatient clinics can be found on the Outpatient Clinics website.

About the measure: The data presented reflects a selection of outpatient clinics, including medical, surgical and allied health. It covers a much broader group of patients than just those waiting for elective surgery.

About the data: The majority of outpatient activity is not captured by the waiting list module. For example, during 2015‑16 there were approximately 520 000 service events recorded as outpatient activity, yet at the end of each month during the year there were fewer than 30 000 patients reported as being on outpatient waiting lists. This pattern of activity suggests that most outpatient activity does not involve being placed on a waiting list.

A person may be included on the waiting list more than once. This occurs when a person is waiting for more than one service included on the waiting list. Each wait is counted as a separate patient.

The outpatient dataset is not as mature or robust as the dataset for elective surgery.

Information on waiting times for outpatient clinics can be found on the Outpatient Clinics website.

About the measure: The data presented reflects a selection of outpatient clinics, including medical, surgical and allied health. It covers a much broader group of patients than just those waiting for elective surgery.

About the data: The majority of outpatient activity is not captured by the waiting list module. For example, during 2015‑16 there were approximately 520 000 service events recorded as outpatient activity, yet at the end of each month during the year there were fewer than 30 000 patients reported as being on outpatient waiting lists. This pattern of activity suggests that most outpatient activity does not involve being placed on a waiting list.

A person may be included on the waiting list more than once. This occurs when a person is waiting for more than one service included on the waiting list. Each wait is counted as a separate patient.

The outpatient dataset is not as mature or robust as the dataset for elective surgery.

About the measure: In Tasmania, a call to 000 for an ambulance is dealt with by an emergency medical dispatcher. The time stamp recorded when the emergency medical dispatcher creates a case in the dispatch system is used as the measure of when the call is answered by the ambulance service. This is the earliest time stamp in the dispatch system and is a good match with the national definition.

This measure applies only to emergency incidents. These are immediately life threatening incidents, for which on-road resources must mobilise as soon as possible and respond using emergency warning devices. Incidents attended by fixed or rotary wing response vehicles are excluded.

For more information, see Ambulance Tasmania.

Emergency: An immediately life threatening incident. On-road resources must mobilise as soon as possible and respond using emergency warning devices.

Urgent: An incident which should have a clinician on scene within 60 minutes. On-road resources must mobilise as soon as possible but respond without using emergency warning devices.

Non-urgent: An incident requiring an ambulance resource to be available for transport at a specified time, e.g. meeting an aircraft for patient collection or transferring a patient between medical facilities. On-road resources must mobilise as soon as dispatched and respond without using emergency warning devices.
