Hospital Teaching, Training and Research Activities National Best Endeavours Data Set Technical Specifications for reporting

Date published: 10 May 2022

Teaching, training and research (TTR) activities represent an important role of the public hospital system alongside the provision of care to patients. Until now, there has been no classification system for TTR. To support data collection and classification development, IHPA have developed nationally consistent data collections for activity and cost data which, with maturity, will allow the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) to price TTR using activity based funding (ABF) methods.

The purpose of this document is to outline the reporting requirements for the provision of data against the Hospital Teaching, Training and Research Activities National Best Endeavours Data Set (HTTRA NBEDS) by state and territory governments, including:

  • content and key concepts included in the HTTRA NBEDS
  • business rules relating to the reporting of the data items
  • frequently asked questions relating to the HTTRA NBEDS
