National Hospital Cost Data Collection cycle
IHPA has developed an animated film and infographic to explain the National Hospital Cost Data Collection (NHCDC) cycle from patient admission through to the publication of the NHCDC.
The NHCDC is the primary data collection used to develop the national efficient price and national efficient cost. IHPA works with all states and territories to coordinate the collection and reporting of the NHCDC each year.
