Change to Data Set: Changed Description, status to Retired, Name

CDS V6 TYPE 030 - EAL - END OF PERIOD CENSUS STANDARD CDS

The Elective Admission List CDSs consist of two distinct types of data sets:
EAL - End Of Period Census CDS Types, and
EAL - Event During Period CDS Types.This item has been retired from the NHS Data Model and Dictionary.

The End Of Period Census Commissioning Data Sets carry details for all booked, planned and waiting list admissions consisting of records of patients waiting for elective admission at a specified date. These should be sent within one month of the end of the period to which they relate unless a shorter time-scale has been agreed with the recipient.The last live version of this item is available in the January 2012 release of the NHS Data Model and Dictionary.

Three derivations are permitted:
1) CDS Type 030 - The End Of Period Census (STANDARD)
2) CDS Type 040 - The End Of Period Census (OLD)
3) CDS Type 050 - The End Of Period Census (NEW)

This derivation, CDS Type = 030 - The End Of Period Census (STANDARD), is the simplest variation and, with one exception detailed below, all Providers must be able to create it as defined and all Commissioners must be able to process it.Access to this version can be obtained by emailing datastandards@nhs.net with "NHS Data Model and Dictionary - Archive Request" in the email subject line.

The exception as identified above is for an Elective Admission List Removal. Some providers send a final EAL-End Of Period Census CDS after the patient has been removed from the list to identify when and why this took place. Commissioners who do not wish to receive such final EAL-End Of Period Census Commissioning Data Sets should ignore them.

Where the Elective Admission List data relates to a Referral To Treatment Period Included In Referral To Treatment Consultant-Led Waiting Times Measurement, the CDS DATA GROUP : PATIENT PATHWAY data elements must be completed where appropriate.

The CDS TYPE 030 consists of the following CDS Data Groups:
INTERCHANGE, MESSAGE and CDS TRANSACTION HEADERS and TRAILERS (defined independently)
PATIENT PATHWAY
PATIENT IDENTITY
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS
COMMISSIONING OCCURRENCE
EAL ENTRY
GP REGISTRATION
OFFER OF ADMISSION
ORIGINAL EAL ENTRY
REFERRAL
EAL ENTRY REMOVAL

The Event During Period Commissioning Data Set Types carry details for all events - patients added or removed from the Elective Admission List - that have taken place during the period.The last live version of this item is available in the January 2012 release of the NHS Data Model and Dictionary.

These Commissioning Data Sets are intended for those Providers and Commissioners who have the capability to implement transaction-based processing.

The Admitted Patient Care Unfinished General Episode Commissioning Data Set Type carries the data for an Unfinished General Consultant/ Midwife/ Nurse Episode.This item has been retired from the NHS Data Model and Dictionary.

It covers all NHS and private Admitted Patient Care (day case and inpatient) activity taking place in any acute, community, psychiatric NHS Trust or Primary Care Trust or other NHS hospital under the care of a consultant, midwife or nurse. Additionally, NHS funded Admitted Patient Care taking place in non-NHS hospitals and institutions is required.The last live version of this item is available in the January 2012 release of the NHS Data Model and Dictionary.

Where the Admitted Patient Care data relates to a Referral To Treatment Period Included In Referral To Treatment Consultant-Led Waiting Times Measurement, the CDS DATA GROUP : PATIENT PATHWAY data elements must be completed where appropriate.Access to this version can be obtained by emailing datastandards@nhs.net with "NHS Data Model and Dictionary - Archive Request" in the email subject line.

An Unfinished General Episode Commissioning Data Set record is required for all Unfinished General Episodes at midnight on 31 March each year. Unfinished General Episode Commissioning Data Set records are also required for short-stay informal psychiatric patients who are resident in hospital or on leave of absence (home leave) on 31 March and who have been in hospital for less than 12 months.

The CDS TYPE 190 consists of the following CDS Data Groups:
INTERCHANGE, MESSAGE and CDS TRANSACTION HEADERS and TRAILERS (shown independently)
PATIENT PATHWAY
PATIENT IDENTITY
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS
HOSPITAL PROVIDER SPELL
CONSULTANT EPISODE
CRITICAL CARE PERIOD
GP REGISTRATION
REFERRAL

HEALTHCARE RESOURCE GROUP

The markers in the columns "OPT, U/A and HES" indicate the NHS recommendations for the inclusion of data:
M = Mandatory - data must be included where available
O = Optional - data need not be included
* = Must Not Be Used
R in the column headed U/A indicates the data is required in the Unfinished Episode / Annual Census of Unfinished Episode record and on an End of Year Census record.
An entry in the column headed HES indicates that the data element is extracted from the SUS database for Hospital Episode Statistics. Data extracted for Hospital Episode Statistics purposes contains some derived items. The CDS/HES Cross Reference Tables show these derivations.

CDS NOTATION
Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description

The Commissioning Data Set is the basic structure used for the submission of commissioning data to the Secondary Uses Service and is designed to be capable of individually conveying many different Commissioning Data Set structures, encompassing Accident and Emergency Attendances, Out-Patient Attendances, Admitted Patient Care and Elective Admission List.

Commissioning Data Set Messages have been defined in specific components known as a CDS TYPE.

Specific notation is used to indicate the requirements of the CDS-XML Message Schema Design conditions for submission of data in the Commissioning Data Sets.

The structure of the Commissioning Data Set message is shown by the use of Data Groups and Sub Groups within those Data Groups.  For each Data Group, Sub Group and individual Data Element, the allowed cardinality at each level is also shown in the "Status" and "Repeats" columns.

The CDS TYPE specifications must therefore be read in this hierarchy, using the Status and Repeat conditions within the Data Groups and Sub Groups, to determine the requirements for the individual Data Elements.


Status Column Notation

The Notation used for the "STATUS" column is as follows:

STATUSMEANINGDESCRIPTION
MMANDATORYThis signifies that the collection and submission of this Commissioning Data Set data is deemed MANDATORY and its presence is necessary for the CDS TYPE to be correctly validated and accepted for processing by the Secondary Uses Service.

If a data item is shown as MANDATORY, this should also be regarded as REQUIRED by the Department of Health.

In most instances, data marked as MANDATORY in a Sub Group will result in its parent Data Group also being marked as mandatory, but this is not always the case.

For instance, although the Consultant Episode - Clinical Diagnosis Group (ICD) is marked as R=REQUIRED (and therefore need not actually be populated), if it is used then both the DIAGNOSIS SCHEME IN USE and the PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS (ICD) are marked as M=MANDATORY and must both be present.

RREQUIREDThis signifies that the collection and submission of this Commissioning Data Set data is deemed REQUIRED by the Department of Health to comply with authorised NHS Standards, Policies and Directives. Therefore whenever a Commissioning Data Set is collected and subsequently submitted to the Secondary Uses Service, this data must be supported and populated into the relevant data sets if the data is available.

Note that "temporal" conditions may mean that there are instances where this directive cannot be fulfilled.

For instance in a CDS V6 TYPE 130 - ADMITTED PATIENT CARE - FINISHED GENERAL EPISODE CDS, ICD and OPCS data elements are marked as "Required" indicating that this data should be included.  However, if at the time of submission to the Secondary Uses Service this data remains incomplete (perhaps awaiting coding in the ORGANISATION), the remaining data in the CDS record should still be submitted. Once the ORGANISATION has updated its systems with the data, the CDS TYPE relating to that ACTIVITY should then be resubmitted to the Secondary Uses Service.

RREQUIREDThis signifies that the collection and submission of this Commissioning Data Set data is deemed REQUIRED by the Department of Health to comply with authorised NHS Standards, Policies and Directives. Therefore whenever a Commissioning Data Set is collected and subsequently submitted to the Secondary Uses Service, this data must be supported and populated into the relevant data sets if the data is available.

Note that "temporal" conditions may mean that there are instances where this directive cannot be fulfilled.

For instance in a CDS V6 Type 130 - Admitted Patient Care - Finished General Episode CDS, ICD and OPCS data elements are marked as "Required" indicating that this data should be included.  However, if at the time of submission to the Secondary Uses Service this data remains incomplete (perhaps awaiting coding in the ORGANISATION), the remaining data in the CDS record should still be submitted. Once the ORGANISATION has updated its systems with the data, the CDS TYPE relating to that ACTIVITY should then be resubmitted to the Secondary Uses Service.

OOPTIONALThis signifies that the collection and submission of this Commissioning Data Set data is OPTIONAL. Its inclusion in the Commissioning Data Set is therefore determined by "local agreement" between the ORGANISATIONS exchanging the data.

Note that even if marked O=OPTIONAL, any data included in a Commissioning Data Set submission to the Secondary Uses Service must comply with its specification published in the NHS Data Model and Dictionary otherwise the data may be deemed invalid and rejected.

XXThis is used where the Data Element has been included in the Commissioning Data Set design, usually for pilot use, but is not yet authorised for transmission by the wider NHS. The Data Element will be in italics and not linked to the Data Element where one exists.

Repeats Column Notation

The Notation used for the "REPEATS" column is as follows:

REPEATSDESCRIPTION
0..1This signifies that the permitted occurrences of the Data Group, Sub Group or individual Data Element are from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 1.
0..9This signifies that the permitted occurrences of the Data Group, Sub Group or individual Data Element are from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 9.
0..*This signifies that the permitted occurrences of the Data Group, Sub Group or individual Data Element are from a minimum of 0 to an unlimited maximum.
1..1This signifies that the permitted occurrences of the Data Group, Sub Group or individual Data Element are from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 1.
1..97This signifies that the permitted occurrences of the Data Group, Sub Group or individual Data Element are from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 97.
1..*This signifies that the permitted occurrences of the Data Group, Sub Group or individual Data Element are from a minimum of 1 to an unlimited maximum.

Rules Column Notation

An entry in the "Rules" column shows that a specific Rule applies to submission of an individual Data Element.  These meaning of these Rules can be found  in Commissioning Data Set Business Rules.


Notation Examples

The following are examples of some common scenarios.

EXAMPLE 1:
A MANDATORY Data Group with differing Sub-Groups and component data status conditions.

The following example shows a MANDATORY Data Group - therefore the Data Group must be present for the CDS TYPE to be validated and accepted for processing by the Secondary Uses Service.

When a Data Group is used:

  1. All MANDATORY Sub Groups and/or Data Elements must be present
  2. Any REQUIRED Sub Groups and/or Data Elements must be present if the data is available
  3. Any OPTIONAL Sub Groups and/or Data Elements may be omitted

The following data structure is one of three options when completing the Patient Identity Data Group:

1..1DATA GROUP: VERIFIED IDENTITY STRUCTURE

R0..1PERSON BIRTH DATE
(Introduced in Commissioning Data Set V6-1)		F
S3

EXPLANATION:

The parent Data Group has a "Status" of M=MANDATORY which indicates that this Data Group must be present in the Commissioning Data Set to ensure correct validation and acceptance when submitted to the Secondary Uses Service.  The parent Data Group "Repeats" = 1..1 indicates that only one occurrence of this Data Group must flow in this particular Commissioning Data Set record.

The Sub Group of "Local Identifier Structure" is marked as R=REQUIRED and therefore must be populated if the data is available. The "Repeats" notation of 0..1 indicates that population of this Sub Group is not necessary to enable the Commissioning Data Set record to be sent to the Secondary Uses Service. If it is sent, then only one occurrence of this Sub Group may flow in this particular Commissioning Data Set record.
Both Data Elements in the Sub Group are marked M=MANDATORY and must both be correctly populated.

The Sub Group of "Data Element Components" is a "generic" structure and is marked as M=MANDATORY and therefore must be populated. The "Repeats" notation of 1..1 indicates that only one occurrence of this Data Group may flow in this particular Commissioning Data Set record.  All the Data Elements marked with M=MANDATORY must be populated.  PERSON BIRTH DATE however is marked with R=REQUIRED, so must also be completed if the data is available.


EXAMPLE 2:
A REQUIRED Data Group with differing component data status conditions.

The following example shows a REQUIRED Data Group. This data must be present in the relevant Commissioning Data Set if available.  However, if submitted to the Secondary Uses Service, omission of this REQUIRED Data Group will not cause rejection.

When the Data Group is used:

  1. All MANDATORY Sub Groups and/or Data Elements must be utilised
  2. Any REQUIRED Sub Groups and/or Data Elements must be present if the data is available
  3. Any OPTIONAL Sub Groups and/or Data Elements may be omitted

EXPLANATION:

The Data Group "Status" = R = Required indicates that this Data Group must be populated in the relevant Commissioning Data Set if the data is available.  The Data Group "Repeats" = 0..1 indicates that population of this Data Group is not necessary to enable the Commissioning Data Set to be sent to the Secondary Uses Service. If it is sent, then only one occurrence of this Data Group may flow in this particular Commissioning Data Set record.

If the Data Group is completed then the Data Element PROCEDURE SCHEME IN USE, marked as M=MANDATORY, must be populated. The "Repeats" notation of 1..1 indicates that only one occurrence of this Data Element is valid.

If the Data Group is completed then the Data Element PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS (ICD), marked as M=MANDATORY, must be populated. The "Repeats" notation of 1..1 indicates that only one occurrence of this Data Element is valid.

If the Data Group is completed then the Sub Group "Secondary Diagnoses", marked as O=OPTIONAL, may be omitted, but if populated it must be in the correct format. The "Repeats" notation of 1..* indicates that unlimited occurrences of this Data Element are valid. Each occurrence must contain a valid SECONDARY DIAGNOSIS (ICD).

CDS SUBMISSION PROTOCOL
Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description

The Commissioning Data Set messages submitted by providers carry information to determine the update method to be used by the Secondary Uses Service in order to update the national database.

These update rules are known as the Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocol and the set of data controls used to indicate this are carried in the Commissioning Data Set Transaction Header Group which must be present and correct in every CDS TYPE submitted to the Secondary Uses Service.

Two Update Mechanisms are available:

  • Net Change - to support the management of an individual CDS TYPE in the Secondary Uses Service database and enables Commissioning data to be inserted/ updated or deleted.
    CDS Senders are expected to use the Net Change Update Mechanism wherever possible.

  • Bulk Replacement - to support the management of bulk commissioning data for an identified CDS BULK REPLACEMENT GROUP of data for a specified time period and for a specified CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY.
    CDS Senders should only use the Bulk Replacement Update Mechanism in exceptional circumstances.

It is strongly advised that all NHS Trusts should, as a minimum process, commence migration to use the CDS-XML Version 6 Message for weekly Net Change submissions by March 2009 as this is the date mandated by the "NHS Operating Framework".

Net Change:
Net Change processes are managed by specific data settings as defined in the CDS V6 TYPE 005N option of the CDS Transaction Header Group.Net Change processes are managed by specific data settings as defined in the CDS V6 Type 005N - CDS Transaction Header Group - Net Change Protocol option of the CDS Transaction Header Group. The Secondary Uses Service uses the following data to manage the database:

Each CDS TYPE must have a CDS UNIQUE IDENTIFIER which must be uniquely maintained for the life of that Commissioning Data Set record. This is a particular consideration where mergers and/or healthcare systems are changed or upgraded, see CDS Submission and PCT Mergers. Any change to the CDS UNIQUE IDENTIFIER during the "lifetime" of a Commissioning Data Set record will almost certainly result in a duplicate record being lodged in the Secondary Uses Service database.

A Commissioning Data Set record delete transaction must be sent to the Secondary Uses Service database when any previously sent Commissioning Data Set record requires deletion/removal, for example to reflect Commissioner changes etc.

The CDS APPLICABLE DATE and CDS APPLICABLE TIME must be used to ensure that all Commissioning data is updated in the Secondary Uses Service database in the correct chronological order.

The CDS SENDER IDENTITY must not change during the lifetime of the CDS data.
This is particularly significant for multiple and/or merged organisations, and for those services who submit data on behalf of another Primary Care Trust or NHS Trust.

Bulk Replacement
Bulk Replacement processes are managed by specific data settings as defined in the CDS V6 TYPE 005B option of the CDS Transaction Header Group.Bulk Replacement processes are managed by specific data settings as defined in the CDS V6 Type 005B - CDS Transaction Header Group - Bulk Update Protocol option of the CDS Transaction Header Group. The Secondary Uses Service uses the following data to manage the database:


Every CDS TYPE must be submitted using the correct CDS BULK REPLACEMENT GROUP.

The CDS REPORT PERIOD START DATE and the CDS REPORT PERIOD END DATE, (i.e. the effective date period), must be valid and consistent, and reflect the dates relevant to the Commissioning data contained in the interchange.

The CDS SENDER IDENTITY must not change during the lifetime of the Commissioning Data Set record. This is particularly significant for multiple and/or merged organisations, and for those services who submit data on behalf of another Primary Care Trust or NHS Trust.

The CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY must be identified in each Commissioning Data Set and must not be changed during the lifetime of the Commissioning Data Set record otherwise the data stored in the Secondary Uses Service database may lose its integrity (e.g. duplicate Commissioning data may be stored).

For this reason it is advised that the ORGANISATION CODE (PCT OF RESIDENCE) should always be used to determine the CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY as detailed in the Commissioning Data Set Addressing Grid. Senders must also be aware that if the ORGANISATION CODE (PCT OF RESIDENCE) is itself derived from the PATIENT's POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS then great care must be taken to manage all elements of this relationship.

If it is necessary to change any of this data during the lifetime of a Commissioning Data Set record, then the Secondary Uses Service help desk should be contacted for advice.

It is strongly advised that users of the Bulk Replacement Mechanism maintain a correctly generated CDS UNIQUE IDENTIFIER within the Commissioning data. This will establish a migration path towards the use of the Net Change Mechanism and will also then minimise the risk of creating duplicate Commissioning Data Set data.

Sub contracting
If a Provider sub-contracts healthcare provision and its associated Commissioning Data Set submission to a second Provider, arrangements to submit the Commissioning Data Set data must be made locally to ensure that only one Provider sends the Commissioning Data Set data to the Secondary Uses Service.

If the second Provider wishes to add other Commissioning data to the Secondary Uses Service database to that already submitted by the first Provider, both parties need to ensure that a different CDS SENDER IDENTITY is used. Often this is done by changing the last 2 digits of the 5 digit code (the Site element of the Organisation Code).

Note: Data sent using the same CDS SENDER IDENTITY by two different parties will most likely overwrite each other's data in the Secondary Uses Service database. Further advice can be obtained from the Secondary Uses Service helpdesk.

Users should be aware of how the 15 character code of their CDS INTERCHANGE SENDER IDENTITY (also known as the EDI Address) is created. this may depend on how their XML interface solution has been set up. It may not be possible to rely on a change to the Provider Code in order to change the CDS INTERCHANGE SENDER IDENTITY should this becomes necessary.

COMMISSIONING DATA SET OVERVIEW
Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description

The primary purpose of national data sets is to enable conformant health information to be generated across the country, independent of the ORGANISATION or system that maintains it. In achieving this, The NHS Information Centre for health and social care will enable healthcare professionals to measure and compare the delivery and quality of care provided and to support them in sharing information with other health professionals and ORGANISATIONS.

Information Requirements

  • monitor and manage NHS SERVICE AGREEMENTS;
  • develop commissioning plans;
  • support the Payment by Results processes;
  • support NHS Comparators;
  • monitor Health Improvement Programmes;
  • underpin clinical governance;
  • understand the health needs of the population.
  • support reporting against 18 week wait targets

Information on care provided for all PATIENTS by NHS Hospitals and Primary Care Trusts and Independent Sector Providers (for NHS PATIENTS only) is specified in the Commissioning Data Sets and must be submitted to the Secondary Uses Service according to issued guidelines.

Commissioners need access to data to monitor Non-Contract Activity as part of the management of their NHS SERVICE AGREEMENTS. Primary Care Trusts also need to monitor in-year referrals to investigate the sources and reasons for Non-Contract Activity.

Independent Sector Treatment Centres (TC) are responsible for providing Admitted Patient Care and Out-Patient Attendance Commissioning Data Sets and may submit this data on their own behalf or via a third party. Other Independent Sector activity for NHS PATIENTS is the responsibility of the NHS commissioning body for the provision of the appropriate central returns and data sets.

The Department of Health requires accurate data of all PATIENTS admitted to or treated as out-patients, or treated as an Accident And Emergency Attendance by NHS Hospital Providers and Primary Care Trusts, including PATIENTS receiving private treatment.The Department of Health requires accurate data of all PATIENTS admitted to or treated as out-patients, or treated as an Accident and Emergency Attendance by NHS Hospital Providers and Primary Care Trusts, including PATIENTS receiving private treatment. The data also includes NHS PATIENTS treated electively in the independent sector and overseas. These Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) are derived from the Admitted Patient Care, Out-Patient Attendance and Accident and Emergency Attendance Commissioning Data Sets as stored in the Secondary Uses Service. This data provides information about hospital and PATIENT management, epidemiological data on PATIENT DIAGNOSES and OPERATIVE PROCEDURES.

Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Events may also flow using the CDS V6 TYPE 020 - OUTPATIENT CDS.Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Events may also flow using the CDS V6 Type 020 - Outpatient CDS. This allows the Secondary Uses Service to build accurate PATIENT PATHWAYS for the reporting of 18 weeks activity.

Commissioning Data Set Data Flow Definitions

CDS TYPES

The Commissioning Data Set is the basic structure used for the submission of commissioning data to the Secondary Uses Service and is designed to be capable of individually conveying many different Commissioning Data Set structures encompassing Accident and Emergency Attendances, Out-Patient Attendances, Future Attendances, Admitted Patient Care and Elective Admission List data etc.

Commissioning Data Set Messages have been defined in specific components known as a CDS TYPE. Each Commissioning Data Set Type as configured into the Commissioning Data Set Message carries only one specific Commissioning Data Set Type, an examples being the Finished Consultant Episode Commissioning Data Set Type etc.

COMMISSIONING DATA SET VALIDATION TABLE (RETIRED)  renamed from COMMISSIONING DATA SET VALIDATION TABLE
Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description, status to Retired, Name

This table details the Data Elements used in the different versions of the Commissioning Data Sets and the validation applied in each CDS TYPE.This item has been retired from the NHS Data Model and Dictionary. 

This table is also available to download in Excel format from the CDS Supporting Information section of the NHS Data Model and Dictionary website.The last live version of this item is available in the January 2012 release of the NHS Data Model and Dictionary.

Commissioning Data Set Versions

Table Structure

This table is structured with separate rows for each Data Element and separate columns for each CDS TYPE.  Where the rules have changed between versions, each set of rules has its own sub-row.  The cells within the body of the table show the validation applied to a Data Element for a specific CDS TYPE.

Commissioning Data Set Versions
The following notation is used in the "Version" column to identify the version or versions of the Commissioning Data Sets that the validation rule applies to.

V6-1 - CDS Version CDS006 Type List (incorporates Version CDS 6-1)
V5 - CDS Version NHS005 Type List

Where the same rules apply to several Commissioning Data Sets the first and last version are identified.

V5:6-1 Commissioning Data Set Version 5 through to Version 6-1

Where a Data Element is no longer available in a Commissioning Data Set the version number is suffixed with =R

Notation used in each table cell

Blank cell - the CDS TYPE does not include the Data Element.Access to this version can be obtained by emailing datastandards@nhs.net with "NHS Data Model and Dictionary - Archive Request" in the email subject line. 
Populated cell - the CDS TYPE includes the Data Element.  The notation includes the content validation, optional population validation and optional additional use cases for the Data Element. 

Content validation
The content validation falls into one of the following two types:

F - The format is validated, for example the format of a DATE must comply with the XML standard
V - The Data Element is validated against an explicit list of permitted values

Population validation
Where a Data Element is required, the content validation is suffixed with a population validation code:

Technical constraints
M - This Data Element is mandatory in the XML schema.  Submissions will not flow if this Data Element is absent
C - There are conditions where the Data Element must be populated.  In these conditions, messages will not flow if this Data Element is absent
Business constraints
R - Data required as part of NHS business rules to meet NHS business requirements. Organisations are obliged to provide this Data Element for activity provided or commissioned by the NHS.
* - There are conditions where the Data Element must not be populated.  Business rules for the anonymisation of data should be applied as per the guidance issued in Security Issues and Patient Confidentiality.
Additional use cases

Secondary Uses Service business rules:

S1 This mandatory CDS DATE is used as the originating date to determine the mandatory CDS ACTIVITY DATE.
S2 The Secondary Uses Service DOES NOT support the use of the CDS TEST INDICATOR Therefore this Data Element must not be used.
S3 For Security Issues and Patient Confidentiality for further information.
S4 Used to ensure the correct sequencing of multiple and/or subsequent Commissioning Data Set submissions.
S5 These Organisation Codes must be present and registered with the Secondary Uses Service. The Commissioning Data Set Schema does not logically validate the content value of this data.
S6 All CDS REPORT PERIOD START DATES and CDS REPORT PERIOD END DATES must be consistent in all Commissioning Data Sets contained in a BULK Interchange submission.
The CDS REPORT PERIOD START DATE must be on or before the CDS REPORT PERIOD END DATE.
The CDS ACTIVITY DATE is a mandatory Data Element and must fall within the period defined. See the Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocol.
S7 See the Commissioning Data Set Addressing Grid
S8 These Data Elements are required for correct processing by the Secondary Uses Service. If omitted, the Secondary Uses Service will reject the Commissioning Data Set data.
S9 The CDS UNIQUE IDENTIFIER is a mandatory data item when using the Net Change Protocol. When using the Bulk Update Protocol this data item is optional but it is strongly advised that where it can be correctly generated and maintained it should be used. See the Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocol.
S10 For CDS V6 TYPE 170 - ADMITTED PATIENT CARE - DETAINED AND/OR LONG TERM PSYCHIATRIC CENSUS COMMISSIONING DATA SET, the CDS ACTIVITY DATE contains the CDS CENSUS DATE which is also the DETAINED AND (OR) LONG TERM PSYCHIATRIC CENSUS DATE.
S11 For the following CDS TYPES, the CDS ACTIVITY DATE must contain the DATE OF ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST CENSUS which is usually the end of the Period being reported:
CDS V6 TYPE 030 - ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST - END OR PERIOD CENSUS (STANDARD) COMMISSIONING DATA SET
CDS V6 TYPE 040 - ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST - END OR PERIOD CENSUS (OLD) COMMISSIONING DATA SET
CDS V6 TYPE 050 - ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST - END OR PERIOD CENSUS (NEW) COMMISSIONING DATA SET
S12 These PERSON BIRTH DATE Data Elements must use dates between 01/01/1880 and 31/12/2999 in order to pass validation.
S13 Data Elements reporting a DATE (which is not PERSON BIRTH DATE Data Element) must use dates between 01/01/1900 and 31/12/2999 in order to pass validation.
S14 For Data Elements reporting a TIME, the hour portion must be between 00 and 23 inclusive in order to pass validation.

Healthcare Resource Groups:

H4 This Data Element is used by the Secondary Uses Service to derive Healthcare Resource Group 4.  Failure to correctly populate this Data Element is likely to result in an incorrect Healthcare Resource Group, usually associated with lower levels of healthcare resource.

Additional notation
† - This notation has been applied to the following items:
CDS TYPE 021 Future Out-Patient Commissioning Data Set - Following consultation, piloting and proof that all items are appropriate, this Commissioning Data Set will be available for referrals without appointments, future scheduled appointments and cancelled appointments where the appointment date is in the future. In the interim it is recommended this CDS TYPE is only used for piloting.
Lead Care Activity Indicator - this Data Element is undefined, must not be submitted and should not flow in the Commissioning Data Sets.
LOCATION TYPE - the definition and value list for this Data Element is under review. Dependent on the review findings changes may be piloted and then approved. Until that time, this Data Element should not flow in the Commissioning Data Sets.
ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORY (AT START OF EPISODE) and LEGAL STATUS CLASSIFICATION CODE (AT START OF EPISODE) - these Data Elements have not been piloted and therefore should not flow in the Commissioning Data Sets.

The Standard Contract

REFERRAL TO TREATMENT CLOCK STOP ADMINISTRATIVE EVENT
Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description

Data Set Change Notice 18/2006 published in December 2006, defined essential new data items required to support the measurement of 18 week REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIODS (monitoring of DH PSA target 13 - "By 2008, no one will have to wait longer than 18 weeks from GP referral to hospital treatment"). In particular, the Data Set Change Notice 18/2006 introduced the following new data items.

Strategic reporting of 18 weeks will be undertaken by the Secondary Uses Service using data obtained via the Commissioning Data Sets . The new data items defined in Data Set Change Notice 18/2006 are enabled to flow in Commissioning Data Set version 6-0, 6-1, and will continue to flow in subsequent versions.

However, an event which results in an update to the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS may occur outside the events that are defined in the Commissioning Data Sets (typically Outpatient or Inpatient encounters) and will therefore not flow to the Secondary Uses Service. These types of events have been termed as "administrative events". They can be defined as any communication event between the Health Care Provider and the PATIENT that occurs outside of an outpatient attendance or inpatient admission and that results in the PATIENT's REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS being changed to stop the 18 week clock. These events are not face to face consultations and do not necessarily involve clinical staff.

These Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Events may be carried using the Commissioning Data Set Type 020 Outpatient record type. They are differentiated from PATIENT contact ACTIVITY by the FIRST ATTENDANCE value carried within them. FIRST ATTENDANCE national code 5 "Referral to treatment clock stop administrative event" signifies that an ACTIVITY has taken place which has ended the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD and changed the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS to one of the following:

30 Start of First Definitive Treatment

31 Start of Active Monitoring initiated by the PATIENT

32 Start of Active Monitoring initiated by the CARE PROFESSIONAL

34 Decision not to treat - decision not to treat made or no further contact required

35 PATIENT declined offered treatment

36 PATIENT died before treatment

When to Use  Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Events

These events may happen because:

Secondary Uses Service Processing

The Secondary Uses Service currently processes the following Commissioning Data Set record types in order to build Referral To Treatment pathways.

All other types are not currently processed and so if they carry the  REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE for a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD, a Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event must also be sent in order to inform the Secondary Uses Service of the clock stop.

Note that future versions of the Secondary Uses Service will also process:

The dates when ORGANISATIONS submitting REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD data to the Secondary Uses Service can cease having to also send a Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event when a clock stop is carried in one of the Elective Admission List Commissioning Data Set Types, will be notified as part of the Secondary Uses Service release documentation. It is also anticipated that CDS V6 TYPE 021 - FUTURE OUTPATIENT CDS will be processed once piloting is complete and its use is approved by the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care. It is also anticipated that CDS V6 Type 021 - Future Outpatient CDS will be processed once piloting is complete and its use is approved by the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care. A cancelled future APPOINTMENT record could carry a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD Clock Stop. Again the timescales will be notified as part of the Secondary Uses Service release documentation.

There are no current plans for the Secondary Uses Service to process the remaining Commissioning Data Set Types:

This is the because a Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event occurring in the scenarios where these record types are generated, would be rare. However this will be reviewed as part of the ongoing maintenance of the Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event, and the requirements for the Secondary Uses Service.

When NOT to Use a Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event

The Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event should NOT be used to correct previously submitted records where a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE was submitted incorrectly to the Secondary Uses Service.

For example, if an Out-Patient Appointment took place where First Definitive Treatment was started, but the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE was not sent in the corresponding CDS V6 TYPE 020 - OUTPATIENT CDS record as it was not entered on the Patient Administration System until later; then the CDS V6 TYPE 020 - OUTPATIENT CDS record should be resubmitted with the correct data.For example, if an Out-Patient Appointment took place where First Definitive Treatment was started, but the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE was not sent in the corresponding CDS V6 Type 020 - Outpatient CDS record as it was not entered on the Patient Administration System until later; then the CDS V6 Type 020 - Outpatient CDS record should be resubmitted with the correct data. A Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event should NOT be used.

Where an ORGANISATION's Patient Administration System supports the submission of cancelled and Did Not Attend appointments in the CDS V6 TYPE 020 - OUTPATIENT CDS, the Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event should NOT be used when a PATIENT has a booked Out-Patient Appointment, which is then cancelled because, for example, the PATIENT dies. In these cases the CDS V6 TYPE 020 - OUTPATIENT CDS can carry the details of a cancelled CARE ACTIVITY, including the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE and update to the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT STATUS.Where an ORGANISATION's Patient Administration System supports the submission of cancelled and Did Not Attend appointments in the CDS V6 Type 020 - Outpatient CDS, the Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event should NOT be used when a PATIENT has a booked Out-Patient Appointment, which is then cancelled because, for example, the PATIENT dies. In these cases the CDS V6 Type 020 - Outpatient CDS can carry the details of a cancelled CARE ACTIVITY, including the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE and update to the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT STATUS. (Note - not all Patient Administration Systems provide functionality to create and submit Commissioning Data Set records for cancellations/Did Not Attend's as this is not yet mandated - you should contact your Patient Administration System support team to ascertain whether your Patient Administration System supports this. If not, then it is permissible to send a Referral To Treatment Clock Stop Administrative Event in order to stop the clock in the Secondary Uses Service instead).

Definition:
For Commissioning data, every CDS TYPE has a "CDS Originating Date" contained within the Commissioning Data Set data that must be used to populate the CDS ACTIVITY DATE.

The CDS ACTIVITY DATE is held in the Commissioning Data Set Transaction Header Group and is a mandatory data element for all uses of the Commissioning Data Set for both Bulk Update and Net Change Protocols, see the Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocol supporting information.
For Bulk Update use, see: CDS V6 TYPE 005BFor Bulk Update use, see: CDS V6 Type 005B - CDS Transaction Header Group - Bulk Update Protocol
For Net Change Use, see: CDS V6 TYPE 005NFor Net Change Use, see: CDS V6 Type 005N - CDS Transaction Header Group - Net Change Protocol

The CDS ACTIVITY DATE has an associated "CDS Originating Date" specifically identified for each CDS TYPE as follows:

Usage:
The CDS ACTIVITY DATE is validated by the Secondary Uses Service and Commissioning Data Set Interchanges are rejected if the date is not present, invalid or not compatible with the Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocol controls being used.

In particular, when using the Commissioning Data Set Bulk Replacement Update Mechanism, the CDS ACTIVITY DATE and its "CDS Originating Date" are used by the Secondary Uses Service to validate that the CDS TYPE date applicability falls within the CDS REPORT PERIOD START DATE and the CDS REPORT PERIOD END DATE.

Notes:
It is the date of the earliest of the Reasonable Offers made to a PATIENT for an APPOINTMENT or Elective Admission.EARLIEST REASONABLE OFFER DATE is the date of the earliest of the Reasonable Offers made to a PATIENT for an APPOINTMENT or Elective Admission. It should only be included on the Commissioning Data Sets where the PATIENT has declined at least two Reasonable Offers, and a Patient Pause is to be applied to the length of wait calculation performed by the Secondary Uses Service.

For an APPOINTMENT this is the earliest of the APPOINTMENT DATES OFFERED where the REASONABLE OFFER INDICATOR of the APPOINTMENT OFFER is National code 1 - Reasonable Offer.

For an OFFER OF ADMISSION this is the earliest of the OFFERED FOR ADMISSION DATES where the REASONABLE OFFER INDICATOR of the OFFER OF ADMISSION is National code 1 - Reasonable Offer.

Patient Cancellations
Where, for any reason, a PATIENT cancels or does not attend an APPOINTMENT or an OFFER OF ADMISSION the EARLIEST REASONABLE OFFER DATE for the rearranged APPOINTMENT or OFFER OF ADMISSION will be the EARLIEST REASONABLE OFFER DATE of the cancelled APPOINTMENT or OFFER OF ADMISSION.

Provider Cancellations
Where, for any reason, any Health Care Provider cancels and re-arranges an APPOINTMENT or an OFFER OF ADMISSION, the EARLIEST REASONABLE OFFER DATE for the re-arranged APPOINTMENT or OFFER OF ADMISSION will be the date of the earliest Reasonable Offer made following the cancellation.

Patients who are unavailable
Where a PATIENT makes themself unavailable for a longer period of time, for example a PATIENT who is a teacher who wishes to delay their admission until the summer holidays, making a Reasonable Offer may be inappropriate.

In these circumstances, so long as the Health Care Provider could have made at least two Reasonable Offers, the EARLIEST REASONABLE OFFER DATE will be the date of the earliest Reasonable Offer that the provider could have offered the PATIENT. This must be communicated to the PATIENT.

Use in Commissioning Data Set version 6-0 onwards

If the Commissioning Data Set record:

relates to a Referral To Treatment Period Included In Referral To Treatment Consultant-Led Waiting Times Measurement

and

includes the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE of the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD

and

is of the following Commissioning Data Set Types:

then EARLIEST REASONABLE OFFER DATE must be populated in the Commissioning Data Set record if a Patient Pause (the PATIENT is paused on the ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST because they have made themselves unavailable for treatment for a specified period (for non-clinical reasons)) is to be applied to a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD by the Secondary Uses Service. 

Failure to include EARLIEST REASONABLE OFFER DATE in the Admitted Patient Care General Episode Commissioning Data Set record carrying the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE, will mean no Patient Pause is applied to the duration of wait calculation for the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD performed by the Secondary Uses Service.

Use in the Community Information Data Set For Secondary Uses:

For the Community Information Data Set the EARLIEST REASONABLE OFFER DATE may be used locally to inform waiting time calculations for Allied Health Professional Referral To Treatment Measurement.  It can be used to account for periods of time where the PATIENT has not accepted the first available APPOINTMENT OFFER and this has extended the Allied Health Professional Referral To Treatment Measurement waiting time, for example:
