IDI MOH Chronic Condition/Significant Health Event Cohort data

The Ministry of Health Chronic Condition/Significant Health Event Cohort (MOH_CHRONIC_CONDITION) data documents the content of the MOH_CHRONIC_CONDITION table that the MOH provides to Stats NZ to use in the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). Three of these (coronary heart Disease [CHD], gout, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD]) have been provided from the Health Tracker. The Health Tracker links data from a variety of national collections to create a series of indicators. This dataset is owned and maintained by Health and Disability Intelligence (HDI), Client Insights and Analytics, MOH.

Data about diabetes has been provided from the Virtual Diabetes Register (VDR). The VDR is maintained by Analytical Services, National Collections and Reporting, MOH.

Healthcare users with a cancer diagnosis have been provided from the New Zealand Cancer Registry (NZCR). This national health collection contains all cancer registrations from 1948 onwards. More information about the NZCR can be found elsewhere in this document. Healthcare users with the remaining three conditions (traumatic brain injury, stroke and acute myocardial infarction) have been identified using data from the National Minimum Data Set (NMDS). This national health collection contains all publicly funded hospitalisations from 1988 onwards. More information about NMDS can be found elsewhere in this document.

This dataset contains information about healthcare users in the population cohort who have been diagnosed with one or more of eight chronic conditions/significant health events identified using a variety of sources.
