Corporate Reference Data System (CRDS) Facility data set:
Statistical Services Branch (SSB) maintains a central repository, the Corporate Reference Data System (CRDS), which holds commonly used corporate reference data, including facility data, for use in Queensland Health data collections and system applications. The facilities are uniquely identified by a five-digit numeric code and include properties such as hospital and health service, operational dates, address details and a number of attributes (e.g. facility name, facility type, etc).
Common facility reference data can be viewed and extracted via the Queensland Health Electronic Publishing Service (QHEPS) INTERNAL QH LINK NOT AVAILABLE. Other facility reference data, including history, is available upon request to the CRDS Administrator.
CRDS is the state-wide authoritative source of medical facility information: Enterprise Information Architecture Implementation Standard (QH-I-8.2.11 Medical page 22).
SSB verifies Facility details against a number of sources, including:
- Australian Government Department of Health: for declared public hospitals, private hospitals, day hospital facilities.
- Australian Government Departmnent of Social Services My Aged Care: for Residential Aged Care Service facilities, multi-purpose health services.
- Hospital and Health Services: for public health care facilities including community health facilities.
- Private Health Insurance Circulars and Private Health Regulatory Unit, Chief Medical Officer and Healthcare Regulation Branch: for private hospital information.
