The Australian mortality data are a foundational health dataset which supports research, policy and planning. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the need for more timely mortality data that could assist in monitoring direct mortality from the virus as well as indirect mortality due to social and economic societal change. This paper discusses the evolution of mortality data in Australia during the pandemic and looks at emerging opportunities associated with electronic infrastructure such as electronic Medical Certificates of Cause of Death (eMCCDs), ICD-11 and automated coding tools that will form the foundations of a more responsive and comprehensive future mortality dataset.
澳大利亚的死亡率数据是一个基础健康数据集，支持研究、政策和规划。COVID-19 大流行需要更及时的死亡率数据，以帮助监测病毒直接导致的死亡率以及因社会和经济社会变化而导致的间接死亡率。本文讨论了大流行期间澳大利亚死亡率数据的演变，并探讨了与电子医疗死亡证明（eMCCD）、ICD-11 和自动编码工具等电子基础设施相关的新出现的机会，这些将构成更具响应性和更全面的未来死亡率数据集的基础。
