Data Elements:
Data elements are organized under the following categories:
- Sociodemographic information
- Administrative data (e.g. referral, admission and discharge)
- Health characteristics
- Activities and participation (e.g. ADL, communication, social interaction)
- Interventions
These elements are used to calculate a variety of indicators including waiting times and client outcomes.
Notes:
Hospitals may choose to submit data for a particular client group (e.g. stroke) and not others.
For voluntary participants, it is possible that hospitals are not collecting data for all patients.
