|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total falls claims | This indicator shows the rate of people who had ACC claims accepted for injuries caused by a fall (some of which may result in a hospital admission). ACC claims are made across a range of health care settings, so this indicator is our broadest available measure of the number of injuries due to falls among older people. | Claims data – ACC, National Population Projection - Stats NZ | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | |
| Fall with fracture claims | This indicator shows the rate of older people who had ACC claims accepted for a fracture caused by a fall (some of which may result in a hospital admission). ACC claims are made across a range of health care settings, so this indicator is our broadest available measure of the number of fractures due to falls among older people. | Claims data – ACC, National Population Projection - Stats NZ | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | |
| Fall without fracture claims | This indicator shows the rate of older people who had ACC claims accepted for a non-fracture injury caused by a fall (some of which may result in a hospital admission). ACC claims are made across a range of health care settings, so this indicator is our broadest available measure of the number of falls that did not result in a fracture among older people. | Claims data – ACC, National Population Projection - Stats NZ | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | |
| Repeat falls claims | This indicator shows the rate of older people who had more than one ACC claim accepted for an injury caused by a fall. ACC claims are made across a range of health care settings, so this indicator is our broadest available measure of the number of falls among older people. | Claims data – ACC, National Population Projection - Stats NZ | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora | |
| Claim expenditure | This indicator shows the cost of ACC claims due to a fall. This is a complementary measure to show impact when viewed alongside outcome data. For ACC, it is also a measure of benefit and contribution to sustaining the wider ACC scheme. | Claims data – ACC, National Population Projection - Stats NZ | Health Quality & Safety Commission | Te Tāhū Hauora |
