Collection and Usage Attributes
The Non-admitted patient (NAP) data set is intended to capture instances of healthcare provision from the point of view of the patient. This may be for assessment, examination, consultation, treatment and/or education.

One service event is recorded for each interaction, regardless of the number of healthcare providers present.

Events broken in time:
The period of interaction can be broken but still regarded as one service event if it was intended to be unbroken in time. This covers those circumstances in which treatment during a service event is temporarily interrupted for unexpected reasons, for example, a healthcare provider is called to assess another patient who requires more urgent care. Where a healthcare provider is unable to complete the interaction, it is considered to be a service event only if the definition of service event is met.

Setting:
Service events can occur in an outpatient clinic or other setting.

Mode:
Service events delivered via Information and Communication Technology (ICT) (including but not limited to telephone and where the patient is participating via a video link) are included if:
- they are a substitute for a face-to-face service event, and
- the definition of a service event is met.

Accompanied patients:
If a patient is accompanied by a carer/relative, or the carer/relative acts on behalf of the patient with or without the patient present (e.g. the mother of a two-year-old patient, or the carer for an incapacitated patient), only the patient's service event is recorded unless the carer/relative interaction meets the definition of a service event.

Note: carer refers to an informal carer only.

Service events delivered in groups:
Care provided to two or more patients by the same service provider(s) at the same time can also be referred to as a group session.

One service event is recorded for each patient who attends a group session regardless of the number of healthcare providers present, where the definition of a service event is met.

Service requests:
A service event is the result of a service request (including formal referral and self-referral or attendance at a walk-in clinic).

Activities which do not meet the definition of a service event include:
- Work-related services provided in clinics for staff.
- Non-attendances for a booked outpatient or booked outpatient services that did not go ahead.

For service events delivered by telehealth, the service delivery setting is recorded as 1 for the provider's location, and 2 or 3 for the patient's location.

Code 2 - OFF - the hospital campus of the healthcare provider (another hospital)
Includes the 'other hospital' setting. This code is to be used to identify 'hospital outreach-type clinics'.

Code 3 - OFF - the hospital campus of the healthcare provider (other setting)
Includes settings such as:
- Community health or day centre or other community facilities;
- General practice surgeries or clinics;
- Residential aged care facilities; or
- Private residences.
The setting is from the point of view of the patient in relation to the healthcare provider who records the service event in the patient's medical record.

For national reporting of the Non-admitted patient service event-service delivery setting (NHDD) data element the following mapping applies:
Code 1 (ON - the hospital campus of the healthcare provider) is mapped to code 1 (On the hospital campus of the healthcare provider)
Codes 2 (OFF - the hospital campus of the healthcare provider (another hospital)) and 3 (OFF - the hospital campus of the healthcare provider (other setting)) are mapped to code 2 (Off the hospital campus of the healthcare provider)
Non-admitted care provides a consistent framework for counting non-admitted patient service events for costing and funding purposes.
