As outlined in the National Health Reform Agreement 2011, the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) has an important role in the development of national training resources for activity based funding. In particular, this includes providing national educational resources that explain activity based funding concepts to the health sector and the general public.

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.
Medical records and data driven health care
Together with the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare, IHPA has developed this animation to explain the secondary uses of patient medical records. It aims to encourage clear, accurate and complete documentation in patient medical records.
