Collection and Usage Attributes
For activity based funding purposes, a virtual Local Hospital Network identifier exists for each jurisdiction. Virtual Local Hospital Networks are entities that are only used for reporting services that are in-scope for activity based funding but which cannot be allocated to an established Local Hospital Network. The virtual Local Hospital Network identifiers are intended to be primarily used to enable reconciliation of activity reported for funding purposes.
A concatenation of:
Australian state/territory identifier (character position 1);
State/Territory-specific hospital network identifier (character positions 2-3).

Corporate Reference Data System (CRDS) Facility data set:
Attribute type is LHNID (Local Hospital Network identifier).
