Hospital Beds

In reply to Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (24 July 2015). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries):

1. Hospital maintenance care patients occupying acute hospital beds are coded according to their clinical condition and are not coded as disability patients. It is not possible to accurately say the number of patients with a disability occupying acute hospital beds.

Hospital patients with a disability generally have high care needs that fluctuate throughout their admission and this can result in a longer length of stay.

2. As above. It is not possible to accurately say the average length of stay for patients with a disability or aged care occupying acute hospital beds.

The average length of stay for maintenance care patients occupying acute hospital beds overnight in 2014- 15 was 14.9 days (as per table below).

Separation Financial Year (long)	Episode Of Care (D)	Hospital (D)	Length Of Stay—Days	Separations	ALOS
2014/15	Maintenance Care	FMC	4,607	262	17.58
2014/15	Maintenance Care	LMH	4,257	302	14.1
2014/15	Maintenance Care	Modbury	3,980	267	14.91
2014/15	Maintenance Care	Noarlunga	2,012	132	15.24
2014/15	Maintenance Care	RAH	6,544	417	15.69
2014/15	Maintenance Care	RGH	3,148	177	17.79
2014/15	Maintenance Care	TQEH	3,026	289	10.47
		Sum:	27,574	1,846	14.94

The average length of stay for mental health patients occupying acute mental health beds overnight in 2014-15 was 14.9 days with the lowest hospital average at 4.2 days (Women's and Children's Hospital).

In 2014-15, there were 28,332 country residents occupying overnight beds in metropolitan hospitals which equates to 17 per cent of the total number of episodes. This percentage remains consistent with 2013-14.
