[null,"As no stratified sampling was undertaken within facilities, the unweighted and weighted response rates are the same.\nFacilities with fewer than 30 respondents do not have sufficient volumes for public reporting and their data are not presented in these data tables. However, data from these facilities do contribute to LHD and NSW results. Further, the three private facilities are not included in the LHD results but are part of the NSW total. \nSince 2018, Westmead Hospital and Westmead Breast Cancer Institute have been sampled and reported separately. In previous years these facilities' results were combined as Westmead Hospital. \nSouthern NSW was not sampled in 2018 due to updates to LHD information systems at the time."]

For age and sex, missing values were filled in using administrative data. Missing data for other patient characteristics were included as a separate category but not reported in this table.\nSee the technical supplement to the Outpatient Cancer Clinics Survey 2019 for more information on the representativeness of the survey cohort of the eligible population.\nFacilities with fewer than 30 respondents do not have sufficient volumes for public reporting and their data are not presented in the data tables. However, data from these facilities do contribute to LHD and NSW results. Further, the three private facilities are not included in the LHD results but are part of the NSW total. \nSince 2018, Westmead Hospital and Westmead Breast Cancer Institute have been sampled and reported separately. In previous years these facilities' results were combined as Westmead Hospital."]

["Notes:"]
["A facility is noted as having a result that is significantly higher or significantly lower than the NSW result for a question after differences in patient characteristics (including age, sex, education level, language spoken at home, cancer type and non-cancer patients) have been taken into account. Therefore, when a facility is flagged as having a significantly higher or lower result than the NSW result, this reflects differences in patient experiences rather than differences that can be explained by a facility’s patient mix.\nCounts of differences are not comparable across facilities as a different number of questions may be compared for each facility.\nDescriptive results are provided without comparison with NSW for all questions regarding complications. This is because patients who have more complex conditions are more likely to experience complications, and comparisons have not been adjusted for patient complexity. For other measures not compared, there was no substantial facility variation, or results were near 100% and the method resulted in no valid comparisons. BHI uses a common standardised comparison method for all measures and does not consider the different mix of patient characteristics for individual measures in order to guarantee that there is enough hospital variation to allow comparison with the NSW results.\nFacilities with fewer than 30 respondents do not have sufficient volumes for public reporting and their data are not presented in the data tables. However, data from these facilities do contribute to LHD and NSW results. Further, the three private facilities are not included in the LHD results but are part of the NSW total. \nSince 2018, Westmead Hospital and Westmead Breast Cancer Institute have been sampled and reported separately. In previous years these facilities' results were combined as Westmead Hospital."]

["Notes:"]
["Only questions with values for both surveys are included, where questions were deemed comparable. See this survey's development report for information on changes to the questions and response options.\nEach value represents the percentage point difference between the 2019 and 2018 surveys, where a positive difference indicates an improvement. However, for complication questions, higher results are less positive so a difference less than zero is an improvement. Results flagged as 'interpret with caution' are not shaded as differences.\nResults are calculated based on unrounded data. Therefore results displayed as 5 or -5 may or may not be shaded as they are based on unrounded values.\nFacilities with fewer than 30 respondents do not have sufficient volumes for public reporting and their data are not presented in the data tables. However, data from these facilities do contribute to LHD and NSW results. Further, the three private facilities are not included in the LHD results but are part of the NSW total.\nThese descriptive differences may not reflect clinically or statistically significant differences. Changes in a facility’s patient mix may contribute to changes in results.\nSince 2018, Westmead Hospital and Westmead Breast Cancer Institute have been sampled and reported separately. In previous years these facilities' results were combined as Westmead Hospital."]
