Patient characteristics (age, gender, education level and language spoken at home) and 'rurality of hospital' (urban versus large rural hospitals).

Each hospital is defined as a stratum. Within each hospital, sampling and weighting are stratified into eight strata, comprising two age groups (18–49 years and 50+ years), two separation groups (admitted same day and overnight) and two Aboriginality groups (Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander, and non-Aboriginal).

Data is collected from the Adult Admitted Patient Survey. This is mailed out to a sample of patients aged 18+ years, discharged from a NSW public hospital between January and December 2021. Patients are eligible if the last 'episode of care' for their most recent hospital stay in a sampling month was for acute or rehabilitation care. Excludes patients who died during their hospital admission; received Acute Post-Acute Care (APAC) hospital-in-the-home services; admitted to a psychiatric unit during any hospital stay during the sampling month; treated for maltreatment syndromes; intentionally self-harmed, or presented with sequelae of intentional self-harm; an unspecified event or undetermined intent; suicidal ideation; family history of other mental and behavioural disorders; a personal history of self-harm; admitted for same-day haemodialysis; same-day patients who stayed for less than three hours; same-day patients transferred to another hospital and sampled in the previous six months for any BHI patient survey. Sampling frame is based on data from NSW Health's Health Information Exchange Admitted Patient Data Collection (APDC). Targets of monthly sampling (sample size) for each facility are calculated based on data from the previous year. Selected patients are invited to complete the questionnaire by either returning the hard-copy questionnaire or by submitting an online response.

On Bureau of Health Information data portal. Each question must have a minimum of 30 respondents at the reporting level (hospital, LHD or NSW) for results to be reported.
