Victorian Integrated Non-Admitted Health Minimum Dataset

The Victorian Integrated Non-Admitted Health (VINAH) Minimum Dataset has been developed to incorporate the Community Rehabilitation Centre Minimum Dataset, the Specialist Clinics Minimum Dataset and HARP into a single dataset (VINAH MDS).

The new dataset enables the Department to meet its State and Commonwealth accountability obligations, and provide important data to inform service planning.

The VINAH MDS has been prepared in collaboration with a working party comprised of managers and clinicians from the field. A key aim has been aligning the data items and definitions with those used in other Departmental collections such as the Victorian Admitted Episodes Dataset (VAED), and with the standard definitions used in the National Health Data Dictionary.
