Background:
IHPA was established in December 2011 by the National Health Reform Act 2011 (the NHR Act). IHPA is an independent statutory authority whose primary role is to determine a national efficient price for public hospital services.
IHPA develops and reviews national health and hospital classification systems to be used to classify activity in public hospitals for the purposes of Activity Based Funding.
The SCWG was established to develop a work program on approaches to the classification and costing of subacute and non-acute care activities undertaken within public hospitals.
The group will focus on providing advice on:
The development and refinement of the national classification system to be used to classify subacute and non-acute care activity in public hospitals for activity-based funding (ABF) purposes
The determination of the data requirements, collection and coding standards for subacute and non-acute care services required from states and territories for ABF purposes
The pricing of subacute and non-acute care in engagement with IHPA’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
