Indicators for admitted patient episodes of care, non-admitted patient occasions of service, and indicators relating to unqualified newborns are provided for all Queensland public hospitals combined, Queensland Area Health Services, Queensland Health Districts, and the top-28 hospitals (Defined as the 28 public hospitals in Queensland with the highest number of separations. These comprise over 80% of all public hospital separations in Queensland). Admitted patient indicators relating to the proportion of same day patients, cost weighted separations, acute separations and non-acute separations and the proportion of eligible public patients are provided for top-28 hospitals only, whereas accrued patient days are provided for all individual Queensland hospitals.

Monthly data are available in HTML graphs (with drill-down access to data) and EXCEL spreadsheets. Cumulative data by financial year are available in HTML graphs (with drill-down access to data) only. Click on the vertical bars or the legend to access the data from the graphs.
