Neighbourhood Statistics: Hospital admissions
- Abstract
-
Small area data for hospital admissions in England has been released on the Neighbourhood Statistics website, which is administered by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The data focus on eight specific episode diagnoses or operations which generally have a higher prevalence amongst older members of the population. These data, provided by the NHS Information Centre for health and social care, provide information about Hospital Episodes. A Hospital Admission or 'Finished Admission' Episode is defined as the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider, during the reference period.
