NHCDC Independent Financial Review 2013-14

The National Hospital Cost Data Collection (NHCDC) is the primary data collection that the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority (IHACPA) relies on to calculate the national efficient price used for the funding of public hospital services. To ensure that the quality of NHCDC data is robust and fit for purpose, IHACPA commissions an independent financial review to assess whether all participating hospitals have included appropriate costs and patient activity.
