(1 )Finished admission episodesA finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of inpatient care under one consultant within one health care provider. FAEs are counted against the year in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. (2)Main procedureThe first recorded procedure or intervention in each episode, usually the most resource intensive procedure or intervention performed during the episode. It is appropriate to use main procedure when looking at admission details, e.g. time waited, but a more complete count of episodes with a particular procedure is obtained by looking at the main and the secondary procedures. (3)OPCS 4 Codes for hip replacement surgeryW37-39, W46-48, W93-95. (4)PCT of main providerThis indicates the PCT area within which the organisation providing treatment was located. (5)Hospital providerRYR-X Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust was formed in 2009-10 as a merger of RPL Worthing and Southlands Hospital Trust and RPR-X Royal West Sussex NHS Trust. We have therefore provided data for both of these trusts for 2008-09. A provider code is a unique code that identifies an organisation acting as a health care provider (e.g. NHS trust or PCT). (6)Assessing growth through timeHES 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. (7)Small numbersCounts between 1 and 5 have been suppressed in order to protect patient confidentiality.
