    Grobovšek-Opara, Sonja, 1946- ...
    Hospitals in Slovenia send aggregated reports on their activities (Form No. 3-21-60) to regional Public Health Institutes, who then forward them to the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of ... Slovenia. These semi-annual reports provide information on organizational units, health care staff, bed capacity, number of hospital days, and the number of patients receiving various in-patient services for diseases, injuries, poisonings, deliveries, foetal deaths, and medical rehabilitation services. Data from aggregated reports reveal that in 1999, the number of persons admitted to hospital due todiseases, injuries, poisonings, deliveries, foetal deaths, and medical rehabilitation increased by 2.9% compared to the previous year, while the number of hospital days decreased by 4.0%. The number of hospital beds droppedby 1.2%, and the mean length of stay (based on the actual annual numberof inpatients and hospital days) by 5.3%. In 1997, a new methodology forgathering Individual in-patient health care data was introduced and the acquired body of data was duly adjusted to meet the requirements of the World Health Organization and European Union. Individual data on diseases and conditions requiring hospital treatment are regarded as a set of episodes, i. e. in-patient health care provided within one health service. These episodes are aggregated to form a category of hospitalization, defined as hospital-based health care provided to a patient in one hospital, and, as a rule, for more than 24 hours. Hospital statistics containing data on these episodes are sent (in the form of computer discs) to the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia twice a year.
