Key changes
This update includes changes to all dashboards within the NBP, including cost per national weighted activity unit (NWAU), hospital acquired complications and avoidable hospital readmissions.
Further, the cost per NWAU dashboard has been expanded to include admitted mental health data at the phase level, using the Australian mental health care classification.
