Ethnicity Codes
The following hierarchical list of ethnicity codes is a subset of data
provided by the Australia Bureau of Statistics
(ABS), and used in Clinical when you record a patient's country of birth
and ethnicity.
The 'Ethnicity' data in Clinical was obtained from the Australia Bureau
of Statistics (ABS): *1249.0 - Australian Standard Classification of Cultural
and Ethnic Groups (ASCCEG), 2011
Notes:
o Instances
of 'nec' refer to "Not Elsewhere Classified".
o Instances
of 'nfd' refer to "Not Further Defined".
o You can
import
and export
the ethnicity field of a patient's demographics. When doing so, note that;
• It is
not imported/exported within one of the default format file types offered
in the File Format window, and
must be added as part of a custom
file format.
• The custom
file format must be anything other than 'Fixed Length'. This is specified
via the Field Format window. The
ethnicity field cannot be exported using a fixed length format, and will
not be available for selection in this window until you have selected
a different format.
• You can
import/export multiple ethnicity codes per patient (as each patient can
have multiple ethnicities). If you choose to use multiple codes, they
must be separated by a comma. For example, if the file format is CSV,
the "ETHNICITY IDS" field will be: "1100, 2102,
2306"
