I am advised that:
The Western Australia (WA) Hospital Activity website began reporting Peel Health Campus (PHC) data 9:00am Wednesday 13 December 2017. Only ambulance ramping and off-stretcher information is currently available to be displayed on the website due to the data being sourced from St John Ambulance Australia (SJAA) and loaded daily at a fixed time.
For specific PHC Emergency Department (ED) hospital activity information, PHC have not been able to provide the Emergency Department Data Collection (EDDC), at the Department of Health, with a daily extract of hospital activity information to enable the loading of data into the WA Hospital Activity website. This has resulted in PHC reporting “N/A” for specific ED activity indicators.
The Department of Health is working with PHC to include PHC ED data in the WA Hospital Activity website.
