About this data
Acute Care (AC) is a subgroup of indicators within the HCQO database and provides data on the quality of hospital-based care for acute conditions. The database includes indicators on 30-day mortality following acute myocardial infarction, haemorrhagic and ischaemic stroke and hip surgery initiation within 2 days. Mortality rates following hospital admission for these conditions capture the quality of pre-hospital factors including timely access and coordinated emergency care as well as the quality of in-hospital care including timely treatment and access to specialised facilities. Acute care indicators are age- and sex-standardised.
