KEY INFORMATION As of 1 July 2018, the Client Data Stream data dictionary is being implemented for use across NSW Health, both for capturing client data within source systems, and to extract client data to the EDWARD data warehouse in line with mandatory reporting requirements. Many of the client data elements are existing data items and codesets that source systems currently collect and supply to the EDWARD data warehouse. This data dictionary formalises and mandates their collection within the EDWARD data formats. Where new or modified client data elements and codesets have been identified for collection within the data dictionary that in turn require source system modification, the Ministry grants a 12 month extension (to 1 July 2019) to the implementation date to allow for the required changes to be made and implemented. Note that this extension is for new or modified items only. Where possible, health services are to comply with the 1 July 2018 implementation date for existing data elements. Where local codesets are currently used for collection within source systems, it is up to the health service to ensure that those values are correctly aliased / mapped to the Client Data Stream data dictionary values for extraction and supply to EDWARD. Clarification Advice The NSW Ministry of Health will provide clarification advice regarding the reporting requirements outlined in the attachment. Requests for advice concerning the Client Data Stream data dictionary should be directed to the System Information and Analytics Branch, NSW Ministry of Health.

NSW Health Client Data Stream Data Dictionary IB2018_007 Issue date: March-2018 Page 1 of 1 NSW HEALTH CLIENT DATA STREAM DATA DICTIONARY Version 1.0 July 2018 Page | 1 Preface This document, the NSW Health Client Data Stream Data Dictionary, outlines the data elements and classifications for collection, as represented within the Client Shared Dimensions of the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW). Unlike older data collection data dictionaries which identified ALL data elements relevant to a specific data collection, irrespective as to whether client data items were identical across other data collections, the EDW model articulates a single client data stream that supplies data independently of service events. Linkage to the service events is provided through the use of client identifiers, source system identifiers and date ranges for client attributes, identifying which client attributes were valid for the service event for a given service event date. Consequently, these are the official standards for all data collections that supply client data to the EDW, and reflect the naming conventions as articulated within the shared dimension tables within the data warehouse. This data dictionary does not cover any of the post derivation data elements that are added to the Client Shared Dimensions through the EDW transformation processes (such as Surrogate or Natural Keys, and Address cleansing or Address Geocoding content). Instead, it covers only those data elements that are a) directly collected by the LHDs/SHNs through their Patient Administration Systems (PAS), or b) are derived from the information stored within the PAS and are provided via the EDW client data extracts (e.g., Start and End Datetimes, Name Type or Address Type codes). All data elements and domain classifications listed within this dictionary are to be collected and extracted for all clients, where relevant, irrespective of the purpose or location of the client (ie, clients on the wait list, or clients presenting at ED, or admitted patients, or non-admitted patients). An example of relevancy would be the DVA client data elements, which would only be collected and supplied where the client is a DVA client. Where domain classifications exist in this data dictionary, and they are items which are asked directly of the client and stored within the PAS, it is recommended that the PAS use the domain classification as specified within this data dictionary for collection, and not map a local client classification within the PAS to the classification. So, for example, it is recommended that PASs contain the domain codeset for Country as per this data dictionary when collecting Country of Birth, and not have a local PAS variant which is then mapped to this state standard via the PAS EDW extract process.

OPENING The second planning meeting for the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) subcommittee was held from 28–29 June 2017 at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, USA. David Bromwich, member of the Polar Prediction Project Steering Group (PPP-SG), opened this second meeting (YOPP-SH2). He welcomed participants and explained the two key goals of the meeting. One of these was to compile information on the national activities that will contribute to YOPP-SH (during the June 28th afternoon session). Bromwich pointed out the benefits that all nations will have from a joint effort to improve forecasts in the Southern Hemisphere, in particular with regards to logistics needed to carry out research in and around Antarctica.

  • The Climate of Macquarie Island and Its Role in Atmospheric Monitoring
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 122(/), /988 91 THE CLIMATE OF MACQUARIE ISLAND AND ITS ROLE IN ATMOSPHERIC MONITORING by N.A. Streten (with four tables, fourteen text-figures and one plate) STRETEN, N.A., 1988 (viii): The climate of Macquarie Island and its role in atmospheric monitoring. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm., 122(1): 91-106, I pl. Papers presented at the Macquarie Island Symposium, Hobart, May I 987. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.122.1.91 ISSN 0080-4703. Bureau of Meteorology, G.P.O. Box 1289K, Melbourne, Australia 3001. An analysis is made of the principal climatic elements at Macquarie Island in relation to the general circulation of the high latitudes of the southern hemisphere. The climate is characterised by a high frequency of strong west to northwesterly winds and frequent gales, low variability of temperature, a high frequency of low cloud and fog, and a high number of days with precipitation throughout the year. In general, the climate is typical of a higher mid-latitude oceanic island, and its features are compared with others in the circumpolar Southern Ocean. From a different perspective the island occupies a unique geographic site. This makes it extremely valuable as a meteorological observatory, enabling regular surface and upper air observations for day-to-day global analysis and forecasting, and providing climatic data representative of the higher southern mid-latitudes. Despite the advent of new observational techniques (such as satellite-reporting drifting ocean buoys, satellite cloud imagery and satellite-derived atmospheric temperature profiles), the observations from Macquarie Island continue to constitute essential calibration data for space-derived measurements and provide the long-term continuity only possible at a fixed baseline station.
