Collection and Usage Attributes
Code 1 Yes
This code indicates care that has been provided to two or more patients by the same healthcare provider(s) at the same time.

A group must have two or more persons attending in the capacity of patients in their own right.

One non-admitted patient service event is recorded for each patient who attends a group session.

Family members or carers attending the session are counted for the group session only if they are also participating in the service as a patient (see definition of a non-admitted patient service event).

A group session may be delivered by more than one provider. This may be multidisciplinary care within one clinic appointment as part of a group, e.g. a group session jointly delivered by a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist.

In practice, this should be interpreted to mean that patients are receiving precisely the same services. For example:
- Patients may be part of a movement or hydrotherapy class where all participants are following the same intervention at the same time.
- Patients attending education sessions at chemotherapy or dialysis clinics are group sessions, if two or more people are receiving the same services at the same time.

Code 2 No
This code indicates that care was delivered to the patient as an individual. An individual service event is provided to one person by one or more healthcare providers. For example:
- Where a clinician works one-on-one with several different patients in the same space over a period of time but each patient is following their own personalised program (for example, where several patients are scheduled to use the physiotherapy gym at once).
- Where multiple persons, such as several family members and carers, meet with a clinician to discuss one patient only.
- Patients attending for treatment at a dialysis or a chemotherapy clinic are receiving individual services.
Must not be blank.
This data element is mapped to the Non-admitted patient service event-group session indicator (NHDD) data element as follows:
Code 1 Yes maps to code 1 Yes
Code 2 No maps to Code 2 No
Code 7 Not applicable is derived from records where
the Non-admitted patient service event-patient not present indicator is code 1 Yes,
the Non-admitted patient service event-multiple healthcare provider indicator is code 1 Yes and
the Non-admitted patient service event-corporate clinic code (CCC) is not for a home based procedure
or
where the Non-admitted patient service event-patient not present indicator is blank,
the Non-admitted patient service event-corporate clinic code (CCC) is for a home based procedure,
the Non-admitted patient service event-service delivery mode (QHNAPDC) is code 9 Patient self-administered - other and
the Non-admitted patient service event-provider type is code 77777777 Non-clinical/home provider
or
where the Non-admitted patient service event-patient not present indicator is blank,
the Non-admitted patient service event-corporate clinic code (CCC) is not for a home based procedure,
the Non-admitted patient service event-service delivery mode (QHNAPDC) is code 10 Patient self-administered – diagnostic monitoring (telemonitoring) and
the Non-admitted patient service event-provider type is code 77777777 Non-clinical/home provider.
Non-admitted care provides a consistent framework for counting non-admitted patient service events for costing and funding purposes.
