Version No: | 1.0 |
Subject: | Dictionary Extract Patch |
Effective Date: | Immediate |
Reason for Change: | Patch |
Publication Date: | 7 December 2010 |
Background:
The NHS Data Model and Dictionary Service is producing an extract tool which will allow the user to create a text file listing the values reported for data elements reporting using National Codes.
During this process the following issues have been raised:
- it has been found that some data element and attribute definitions have not been formatted consistently with respect to retired National Codes
- some data element definitions also include lists of National Codes and will need to be formatted so that the extract tool can recognise these.
This patch applies corrections to the formatting in these attribute and data element definitions in order to allow for the extract tool to recognise these codes correctly.
Summary of changes:
Date: | 7 December 2010 |
Sponsor: | Richard Kavanagh, NHS Connecting for Health |
Note: New text is shown with a blue background. Deleted text is crossed out. Retired text is shown in grey. Within the Diagrams deleted classes and relationships are red, changed items are blue and new items are green.

P1B | Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody test offered and refused | This code refers to all patients offered an HIV test who decline the test even though the clinician believes there is some possible HIV risk that could be screened by testing on that day. The code is used regardless of whether a pre-test discussion or counselling was given, or whether the patient intends to test in the future. P1B is mutually exclusive of T4, P1A and P1C. |
P1C | HIV test inappropriate | This code is used to describe a patient attendance where an HIV test was not offered because it was not appropriate or was offered but after discussion it was deemed not appropriate e.g. where the patient has been recently tested, is in the ‘window’ period, is already known to be HIV positive etc. |
| ||
P2 | Hepatitis B vaccination (1st dose only) (Retired 01 January 2011) | Only the 1st dose of any new Hepatitis B vaccination course should be included. This would include those patients who may have been vaccinated some time in the past but are now receiving the first dose of a new course of vaccination. Subsequent doses and boosters should be coded as D2B. |
P2A | Hepatitis B vaccination: 1st dose | Only the 1st dose of any new Hepatitis B vaccination course should be included. This would include those patients who may have been vaccinated some time in the past but are now receiving the first dose of a new course of vaccination. Subsequent doses should be coded P2B/P2C and boosters should be coded as D2B. |
P2B | Hepatitis B vaccination: 2nd dose | Includes only the second dose of a Hepatitis B vaccination course, including those who are known to have received a first dose at another clinic. |
P2C | Hepatitis B vaccination: 3rd dose | Includes only the third dose of a Hepatitis B vaccination course, including those who are known to have received a first and/or second dose at another clinic. |
P2I | Hepatitis B immune | Includes patients who are ineligible for hepatitis B vaccination because they are already immune. This should only be recorded once, the first time a patient attends a particular clinic, or when first known to be immune. |
P3 | Contraception (excluding condom provision) | This code will be used to record contraception (females only), including prescribing and sexual and reproductive health advice, and excluding condom provision. |
P4 | Cervical cytology done | Includes all patients who had cervical cytology done, regardless of outcome. |
W1 | HPV vaccination: 1st dose | Only the 1st dose of any new human papillomavirus vaccination course should be included. This would include those patients who may have been vaccinated some time in the past but are now receiving the first dose of a new course of vaccination. Subsequent doses should be coded W1/2. |
W2 | HPV vaccination: 2nd dose | Includes only the second dose of a HPV vaccination course, including those who are known to have received a first dose at another clinic. |
W3 | HPV vaccination: 3rd dose | Includes only the third dose of a HPV vaccination course, including those who are known to have received a first and/or second dose at another clinic. |
PN | Partner notification initiated | Level 2 & Level 1 services only: Partner notification has been initiated for this patient by this clinic. |
PNC | Partner notification: Chlamydia | This should be used for those presenting as a partner of an index case diagnosed with chlamydia (at this or any setting). If the partner is found to be infected with chlamydia he/she should also be coded C4. |
PNG | Partner notification: Gonorrhoea | This should be used for those presenting as a partner of an index case diagnosed with gonorrhoea (at this or any setting). If the partner is found to be infected with gonorrhoea he/she should also be coded B. |
PNS | Partner notification: Syphilis | This should be used for those presenting as a partner of an index case diagnosed with syphilis (at this or any setting). If the partner is found to be infected with syphilis he/she should also be coded A1, A2 or A3. |
PNH | Partner notification: HIV | This should be used for those presenting as a partner of an index case diagnosed with HIV (at this or any setting). If the partner is found to be infected with HIV he/she should also be coded H1, H1A or H1B. |
PEPS | Post exposure prophylaxis after sexual exposure (PEPSE) | Used for patients given HIV prophylaxis following sexual exposure |
| ||
| ||
D3 | Other episodes not requiring treatment | D3 is used to code any new patient episode where no treatment is given, whether or not a sexual health screen and/or an HIV test are/is performed. D3 can therefore be used to record an episode where a patient tests negative for all tests done, or where testing the patient is not indicated and otherwise no treatment is given. D3 may also be used to record any other contact with a patient for clinical purposes but which does not result in treatment. Patients who do not attend appointments may be coded D3 if a) they have already been triaged, or b) they have had contact with a health advisor. Otherwise patients who do not attend should not be coded D3. D3 can be used only once per patient episode. |
Special Patient Groups It is useful to record additional information on certain patient groups receiving services or undergoing tests. Codes to be reported separately at each First Attendance. | ||
Z | Prisoner | The ‘Z’ code is used to code the provision of a service to a patient known to be a current prisoner. |
SW | Sex Worker | The ‘SW’ code is used to code the provision of a service to a patient known to be a current sex worker. |
| ||
Suffixes to Codes For a number of conditions it is useful to record additional information about the patient’s presentation or service given. This information may be collected through the use of suffixes which can be applied to some Sexual Health and HIV Activity Property codes. Where appropriate, multiple suffixes can be used on the same Sexual Health and HIV Activity Property code. The suffixes and the codes with which they can be used are given below. These codes are appended to the Sexual Health and HIV Activity Property Code. | ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
R | Rectal infection | The ‘R’ suffix is added where a diagnosis includes infection of the anorectum. Where the patient is infected at multiple sites including the anorectum the patient need only be coded once using the Sexual Health and HIV code and the ‘R’ suffix. Suffix code may be used with B, C4, C2, C4N |
O | Pharyngeal infection | The ‘O’ suffix is added where a diagnosis includes a pharyngeal infection but excludes anorectal and genital infections. Suffix code may be used with B, C4, C2 |
X | Diagnosed previously elsewhere | For use in GUM only: The ‘X’ suffix is added where a patient is known to have been diagnosed with their presenting condition at another non-GUM clinic health setting in the UK before this attendance. Suffix code may be used with B, C4, H1, H1A, H1B |
M | Medication given | For use in Level 2 & level 1 services only: The patient was given/prescribed treatment at this setting for the presenting condition. The M suffix should be used whether or not the patient is then referred for further management. Suffix code may used with B, C4, C10A, C10B, C11A, C11D. |
Q | Quadrivalent HPV vaccine | The ‘Q’ suffix is added where a patient being immunised against HPV receives the quadrivalent vaccine. Suffix code may be used with W1, W2, W3 |
