The 12 papers in this Special Issue describe developments across a diverse range of topics, as well as providing an overview of the scope of health statistics in Australia and describing some ongoing gaps and problems. The papers will be of interest to international readers seeking to improve statistics about their health systems. Health statistics need to respect individuals’ personal information, be based on common data standards, and have adequate resourcing and committed staffing . The Australian experience provides valuable insights and examples. Australians will benefit from a comprehensive account of what has been achieved and what remains to be addressed. The papers in the Special Issue demonstrate the importance of continuing commitment to the statistical effort. Authors were chosen because of their known expertise in their respective fields.Health Statistics HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healthIndigenous health measurementlife expectancymisleading statisticsmanagement use of informationdata sovereigntygovernancementalservicespandemicCOVID-19data linkageAustraliacross-jurisdictiondental cariesoral healthperiodontal diseasetooth losshealth servicesdisabilitydata gapsdisability identificationInternational Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)health statistics, disability statisticsinequalitiesprescribingquality use of medicinesmedication safetypharmacoepidemiologymedication datahealth outcomesreal-world datareal-world evidencemortality datacause of deathcoronial investigationcontinuity of caredatadementiahealthhealth service useintegrationlast year of lifelinkagesuicideveteranswelfarewellbeinggeneral practicehealth services researchprimary health carehealth expenditurehealth expenditure projectionsdisease expenditurehealth expenditure policymental healthaccountabilityquality improvementpolicy developmenthealth statisticsAustralian health systemhealth surveysIndigenousHumanitiesSocial interactionMadden Richardedt1328770Madden RichardothBOOK9910585939103321Health Statistics3038922UNINA
