on numbers of finished admission episodes (FAEs) of patients aged between 0 and 17

</p><p><em>Notes</em>:</p><p>1. FAEs:</p><p>An FAE is the first period of admitted
patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted
against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not
represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within
the period.</p><p>2. This is a total of admissions and will therefore include those
admitted as a day case.</p><p>3. Hospital Provider:</p><p>A provider code is a unique
code that identifies an organisation acting as a health care provider (e.g. National
Health Service trust or primary care trust). Data from some independent sector providers,
where the onus for arrangement of dataflows is on the commissioner, may be missing.
Care must be taken when using this data as the counts may be lower than true figures.</p><p>4.
Assessing growth through time (Admitted patient care):</p><p>HES figures are available
from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the
context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years),
improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07)
and changes in NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes
in the provision of care.</p><p>5. Provisional Data:</p><p>The data is provisional
and may be incomplete or contain errors for which no adjustments have yet been made.
Counts produced from provisional data are likely to be lower than those generated
for the same period in the final dataset. his shortfall will be most pronounced in
the final month of the latest period, i.e. November from the (month 9) April to November
extract. It is also probable that clinical data are not complete, which may in particular
affect the last two months of any given period. There may also be errors due to coding
inconsistencies that have not yet been investigated and corrected.</p><p> </p>
