The Specialist Outpatient Data Collection (SODC) is a monthly collection of patients who have been removed from the specialist outpatient clinic waiting list in one of 32 reporting public hospitals. The SODC collects demographic, service request and appointment information to meet Department of Health reporting requirements such as Service Agreement Key Performance Indicators.

Collection and Usage Attributes
In Queensland public hospitals, there is a need for uniform and reliable information on the activity, demand and performance of specialist outpatient services. A statewide specialist outpatient data collection provides Hospital and Health Services (HHSs), and the Department of Health, with consistent and actionable data.

From 1 July 2015, the HHS Service Agreements include a requirement that all in-scope services provide data to the collection according to a minimum data set, which is outlined in this data supply requirement.

For the purpose of the SODC, a patient is classified as having been removed from a specialist outpatient waiting list when a referral for a specialist outpatient service has been received, a request for a specialist outpatient service has been recorded (wait listed), and has been subsequently removed from the waiting list with or without the initial appointment occurring. Reasons for removal may include:

- The initial appointment has occurred.
- The patient requested to be removed from the waiting list.
- The facility removed the patient from the waiting list according to local policy, which may include: where the patient declines an offer of an appointment; or the patient fails to respond to audit measures despite reasonable efforts to contact the patient.
- A designated clinician removes the patient from the waiting list for clinical reasons.
- The patient dies.
- The facility ceases the specialist outpatient service and transfers the patients on the waiting list to another facility or an alternative care pathway.
When a request for a specialist outpatient service is removed and requires reinstatement, the same request entry should be reinstated where possible, in order to continue the patient's waiting time from that previously accrued, with a not ready for care period applied where appropriate.
32 public hospitals in Queensland Health are required to provide a submission to the SODC 2017-2018. This requirement is included in the 2017-2018 Service Agreements between each HHS and the Department of Health. The full list of hospitals included in the scope of the collection is listed in Specialist Outpatient Data Collection 2017-2018 Manual.

Clinics classified as a specialist service are defined by their Corporate Clinic Code. The full list of Corporate Clinic Codes are also included in the Specialist Outpatient Data Collection 2017-2018 Manual.

Records in scope for the SODC are identified as service requests for an initial specialist outpatient service. In the specialist outpatient domain, a service request can lead to multiple appointments. For this collection, those subsequent or follow-up appointments are not in scope.

The scope of the SODC is separated into Part A (waiting list removals) and Part B (waiting list census).
IN-CONFIDENCE
The unit of count for the SODC is a request for a specialist outpatient service. A request for a specialist outpatient service is created when a referral for a specialist outpatient service is received and accepted by the clinic.
More information regarding speciality outpatient data collection submissions can be found in the manual, which is located: http://qheps.health.qld.gov.au/caru/data/collections/giedc.htm
The method of submission to the collection is detailed in the HIU Data Collection Guide. The SODC operates on a monthly basis and submission is required by midnight on the 6th calendar day following the reporting month.
