Collection and Usage Attributes
This data element should be reported in conjunction with a reported date of birth when any part of the date represents an estimate rather than the actual or known date.
Queensland Health Non-Admitted Patient Data Collection (QHNAPDC):
Provide code 1 if any component of the date of birth is estimated, otherwise, leave blank.
Provision of a date (eg. date of birth) is a mandatory requirement in the QH client registration process and is often a mandatory requirement in data collections.

Often it must be recorded in a date field type, in a computer system which does not allow the recording component of the date as null. At times, the actual date or part thereof may not be known. This data element is intended to be designed to flag a date that has been estimated.
This data element may assist with record linkage processes when the date of birth is a component of the linkage key.
