The definition of the term 'multiple healthcare provider' can vary depending on the context and/or collection in which the term is being applied.

For example, in the context of reporting non-admitted activity data for activity based funding, 'multiple healthcare provider' means three or more health care providers who deliver care either individually or jointly within a non-admitted patient service event. The healthcare providers may be of the same profession (medical, nursing or allied health). However, they must each have a different speciality so that the care provided by each provider is unique and meets the definition of a non-admitted patient service event.

In practice, this should be interpreted as meaning that the patient can separately identify the unique care provided by each healthcare provider. For example:
- A patient attends a pain management clinic for assessment. At the assessment there is a doctor specialising in chronic diseases, a doctor specialising in pain management, a nurse specialising in pain management and an occupational therapist. As each provider will provide unique clinical content to the assessment, this is counted as multiple healthcare providers.
- A patient attends a rehabilitation clinic and sees a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist and then a nurse, all individually. This would be counted as multiple healthcare providers.
- A patient attends a hydrotherapy clinic, sees a physiotherapist who provides a plan, and then completes a plan with a physiotherapist aid. This would not be counted as multiple healthcare providers.
Non-admitted care provides a consistent framework for counting non-admitted patient service events for costing and funding purposes.
