The Atlas includes the
Commission’s recommendations for action across the health system to address
variation where this appears to be unwarranted. The Atlas also provides
information about hospitalisation rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Australians, about the percentage of services funded publicly and
privately, and includes analysis by socioeconomic status.

Australian Atlas of Healthcare Variation 2017
This second Atlas, released in June 2017, examines four clinical themes: chronic disease and infection – potentially preventable hospitalisations, cardiovascular, women’s health and maternity, and surgical interventions. The Atlas shows rates of use of health care (hospitalisations, prescriptions, surgical procedures) in geographical local areas across Australia.
The Atlas was developed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.
