The Bureau of Health Information (BHI)
The BHI is a government organisation that produces independent reports and information about the performance of the NSW healthcare system.
The information is used to strengthen accountability and support system-wide and local improvements in patients’ healthcare experiences and outcomes.
Public reporting of this information enhances transparency and understanding of healthcare performance for consumers and local communities.
The reports produced draw on a variety of sources to analyse and report on healthcare performance, providing trends and benchmarks at state, local health district and hospital level.
The BHI manages the NSW Patient Survey Program, which offers families and patients the opportunity to provide feedback about their experiences of care in the health system.
