LOCAL HEALTH BOARD (WALES)

Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description

A Local Health Board (Wales) (formerly known as Welsh Local Health Board) is an ORGANISATION.

Local Health Boards (Wales) are bodies corporate established by the Welsh Ministers under s.11 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006.

A Local Health Board (Wales) will be responsible for:

  • Those functions undertaken by the twenty-two Welsh Local Health Boards up to 30 September 2009 (including securing the provision of health care services for the PERSONS resident within their respective areas);
  • The provision of health care services within their areas;
  • The planning and provision of specialised and tertiary services that were commissioned by Health Commission Wales up to 30 September 2009. The planning of some of those specialised and tertiary services may be executed via joint committees such as that envisaged for the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee (WHSSC).

This model will ensure the emphasis remains on co-operation and engagement with local partners, particularly in relation to the Health, Social Care and Well-being Strategies and Children and Young People’s Plans.

D3Other episodes not requiring treatmentD3 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 

D3Other episodes not requiring treatmentD3 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 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.

 
ZPrisonerThe ‘Z’ code is used to code the provision of a service to a patient known to be a current prisoner.
SWSex WorkerThe ‘SW’ code is used to code the provision of a service to a patient known to be a current sex worker.

Suffixes to Codes

 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.

 
RRectal infectionThe ‘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

 
OPharyngeal infectionThe ‘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

 
XDiagnosed previously elsewhereFor 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

 
MMedication givenFor 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.

 
QQuadrivalent HPV vaccineThe ‘Q’ suffix is added where a patient being immunised against HPV receives the quadrivalent vaccine.

Suffix code may be used with W1, W2, W3

 
RRectal infectionThe ‘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.

Notes:
ETHNIC GROUP is the old classification of ethnicity replaced by ETHNIC CATEGORY CODE.

New ethnic categories defined in the 2001 census have become the national mandatory standard for the collection of ethnicity. These new ethnic categories have replaced the existing categories of ethnic data as classified by ETHNIC GROUP but there will be a period where both may need to co-exist at the same time.

Note: ETHNIC CATEGORY CODE should be used when classifying people from 01/04/2001 and in the Commissioning Data Sets.

ETHNIC GROUP classifies the ethnicity of a PERSON, as specified by the PERSON. The classification was used in the 1991 census, and will exist in parallel with ETHNIC CATEGORY CODE for some time.

Permitted National Codes:

0White
1Black - Caribbean
2Black - African
3Black - Other

When recording Ethnic Group in a 2-digit field, the national code should be entered as the left digit. In order to avoid coding errors, providers collecting ethnic group to the national standard with no further detail are advised to add 0 (zero) after the national code.

Code 8 does not carry the standard default meaning of Not applicable.
