Notes
Source of data for all districts is the National Non-admitted Patient Collection (NNPAC). This measure excludes patients presenting directly to an Acute Assessment Unit (AAU) or via ED where the only input in ED was triage and patients who did not wait to be seen.
Data calculation/treatment
Ethnicity data is sourced from prioritised ethnicity in the National Health Index system, and for Ambulatory Sensitive Hospitalisations and Acute Bed Day rates, matched to prioritised ethnicity in Stats NZ Usual Resident Population projections.
