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
The Non-Admitted Data Collection (NADC) is a flat file extract used in a limited number of circumstances by health services unable to report VINAH. Health services can apply for approval to temporarily report patient level activity using NADC as part of a planned transition to VINAH reporting.
