The Victorian Integrated Non-Admitted Health (VINAH) minimum data set is the Department of Health’s non admitted data collection integrating patient-level data across many government-funded programs.
This data is used to provide equitable funding to public hospitals and support health services in their planning, policy formulation and epidemiological research.

Non-Admitted Data Collection
