It also provides an estimate of the numbers of surgical operations performed and the extent to which particular procedures are used to resolve medical problems. It is used for classification of episodes of acute care for admitted patients into Australian Refined Diagnosis Related Groups.

- procedure performed for the treatment of an additional diagnosis
- diagnostic/exploratory procedure related to the principal diagnosis; or
- diagnostic/exploratory procedure related to an additional diagnosis for the episode of care.
