Care Programme Approach Episode is an ACTIVITY GROUP.A Care Programme Approach Episode is an ACTIVITY GROUP.

A period of care provided as part of the care programme approach for an adult (including elderly) PATIENT.A Care Programme Approach Episode is a period of care provided as part of the care programme approach for an adult (including elderly) PATIENT. The Care Programme Approach Episode forms part of a Adult Mental Health Care Spell.

The first Care Programme Approach Episode starts when the Adult Mental Health Care Spell initial assessment of the PATIENT determines that a plan of care or treatment is required which will be delivered under the care programme approach.

The Care Programme Approach Episode ends when one of the following occurs:

• a review determines that no further care need be provided
• a different level of care programme approach is required
• a PATIENT transfers to another Health Care Provider with main responsibility for provision of mental health care also being transferred
• death of the PATIENT

A Care Programme Approach Episode must involve all of the following key elements:

Each Care Programme Approach Episode must be subject to at least one Care Programme Approach Review and at least one Care Programme Approach Care Co-ordinator Allocation.

Care Programme Approach Review is a CARE CONTACT.A Care Programme Approach Review is a CARE CONTACT.

A clinical review of the health and social needs of a PATIENT who is the subject of a Care Programme Approach Episode. The review may take the form of a single meeting of interested parties, usually including the allocated care coordinator and the PATIENT or it may comprise a series of meetings and discussions over a number of days. The Care Programme Approach Review ends when a definite outcome is established and recorded.A Care Programme Approach Review is a clinical review of the health and social needs of a PATIENT who is the subject of a Care Programme Approach Episode.

The review may take the form of a single meeting of interested parties, usually including the allocated care coordinator and the PATIENT or it may comprise a series of meetings and discussions over a number of days.

The Care Programme Approach Review ends when a definite outcome is established and recorded. The date when this is recorded will be taken as the Care Programme Approach Review Date. The outcome will determine whether the Care Programme Approach Episode continues or is ended.

The review will also include the assessment and recording of the Health of the Nation Outcome Scale and the assessment or re-assessment of the need for a Supervision Register Episode.

The minimum Commissioning Data Sets information flow requirement to enable Hospital Episode Statistics, 18 Weeks ACTIVITY reporting, and Payment by Results to be supported by the Secondary Uses Service is shown in the table below.

The Secondary Uses Service supports every CDS TYPE but only a subset is mandated to flow.

Commissioning Data Sets may flow to the Secondary Uses Service using either Net Change or Bulk Replacement Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocols.  Many Standard NHS Contracts between Health Care Providers and the commissioners of their SERVICES, now specify weekly submission of initially-coded data sets to the Secondary Uses Service.  The use of Net Change Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocols is recommended for submissions of this frequency.

Hospital Provider Spell is an ACTIVITY GROUP.A Hospital Provider Spell is an ACTIVITY GROUP.

The total continuous stay of a PATIENT using a Hospital Bed on premises controlled by a Health Care Provider during which medical care is the responsibility of one or more CONSULTANTS, or the PATIENT is receiving care under one or more Nursing Episodes or Midwife Episodes in a WARD.A Hospital Provider Spell is the total continuous stay of a PATIENT using a Hospital Bed on premises controlled by a Health Care Provider during which medical care is the responsibility of one or more CONSULTANTS, or the PATIENT is receiving care under one or more Nursing Episodes or Midwife Episodes in a WARD. During Nursing Episodes and Midwife Episodes general medical care is the responsibility of their own GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER, who is not acting as a CONSULTANT. The Hospital Provider Spell may be as a result of an ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST ENTRY.

During the Hospital Provider Spell, the PATIENT may be subject to more than one ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORY PERIODS. The PATIENT may be subject to one or more CRITICAL CARE PERIODS.

The Hospital Provider Spell starts when a CONSULTANT, NURSE or MIDWIFE assumes responsibility for care following the DECISION TO ADMIT the PATIENT. This may be before formal admission procedures have been completed and the PATIENT transferred to a WARD. For example, if a PATIENT is brought into hospital as an emergency and dies in the OPERATING THEATRE before being transferred to a WARD, the PATIENT would have started a Hospital Provider Spell.

In some circumstances a PATIENT may take Home Leave, or Mental Health Leave of Absence for a period of 28 days or less, or have a current period of Mental Health Absence Without Leave of 28 days or less, which does not interrupt the Hospital Provider Spell, Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider), Nursing Episode, Midwife Episode or Hospital Stay.

Each admission as part of a series of regular day/night admissions generates a separate Hospital Provider Spell and Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider). An admission is the start of the PATIENT's Hospital Provider Spell and the first Consultant Episodes (Hospital Provider), Midwife Episode or Nursing Episode within the spell. If the PATIENT is on a Hospital Site the admission will also start the first Hospital Stay and, unless the PATIENT has to spend time as a LODGED PATIENT, the admission will also start the first Ward Stay within that Hospital Provider Spell. If the PATIENT is in a Care Home the admission will start the first Care Home Stay (Consultant Care) within the Hospital Provider Spell. Any admission of a PERSON liable to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 cannot be in a Care Home and must be a Hospital Provider Spell.

A discharge will be the end of the last Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider), Midwife Episode or Nursing Episode, and the end of the last Care Home Stay (Consultant Care) or Hospital Stay and Ward Stay within that Hospital Provider Spell.

If there is any time spent as a LODGED PATIENT before transfer to a WARD this is included in the Hospital Provider Spell.

A Hospital Provider Spell starts with a Hospital Provider admission and ends with a Hospital Provider discharge.

There may be one or more Mental Health Delayed Discharge Periods recorded for any Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) within the Hospital Provider Spell.

A Mental Health Care Cluster is a MENTAL HEALTH CARE CLUSTER which is a type of CATEGORY VALUED PERSON OBSERVATION.

A Mental Health Care Cluster is part of a currency developed to support Payment by Results for Mental Health Services.  Mental Health Care Clusters are 21 groupings of Mental Health PATIENTS based on their characteristics, and are a way of classifying individuals utilising Mental Health Services that forms the basis for payment.

A Mental Health Care Cluster is assigned using a decision tree or algorithm based on the PERSON SCORE from the Mental Health Clustering Tool undertaken by a CARE PROFESSIONAL for the PATIENT.

This is done by first assigning the PATIENT to one of three Mental Health Care Cluster Super Classes, to narrow down the number of possible Mental Health Care Clusters which are applicable to the PATIENTS condition.  The PATIENT is then assigned to the most appropriate of this sub-set of Mental Health Care Clusters. The PATIENT is then assigned to the most appropriate of this sub-set of Mental Health Care Clusters.

The Mental Health Care Clusters into which the presenting needs of the PATIENT may fall are:

Care Cluster 0:  Variance - Despite careful consideration of all the other Mental Health Care Clusters, this group of PATIENTS are not adequately described by any of their descriptions.  PATIENTS who cannot be initially assigned to a Mental Health Care Cluster Super Class during the clustering process will be automatically assigned to this Mental Health Care Cluster. PATIENTS who cannot be initially assigned to a Mental Health Care Cluster Super Class during the clustering process will be automatically assigned to this Mental Health Care Cluster.

A Mental Health Care Cluster Assignment Period is an ACTIVITY GROUP.

The period of time that a PATIENT is assigned to a Mental Health Care Cluster during a Mental Health Care Spell.A Mental Health Care Cluster Assignment Period is the period of time that a PATIENT is assigned to a Mental Health Care Cluster during a Mental Health Care Spell.

A Mental Health Care Cluster Super Class is identified during the process of assigning a Mental Health Care Cluster to a PATIENT.  It enables the number of applicable Mental Health Care Clusters to be narrowed down, by deciding if the origin of the presenting condition is primarily:

• non-psychotic
• psychotic or
• organic

If the PATIENT cannot be assigned to a Mental Health Care Cluster, MENTAL HEALTH CARE CLUSTER SUPER CLASS CODE is recorded as National Code Z 'Unable to assign PATIENT to Mental Health Care Cluster', and the PATIENT will automatically be assigned to Mental Health Care Cluster 0 (Variance).

Mental Health Care Spell Suspension is an ACTIVITY SUSPENSION.A Mental Health Care Spell Suspension is an ACTIVITY SUSPENSION.

A period of time during which the main responsibility for provision of mental health care for a PATIENT is transferred to another Health Care Provider on a temporary basis, with the expectation that responsibility will be transferred back at some time in the future.A Mental Health Care Spell Suspension is a period of time during which the main responsibility for provision of mental health care for a PATIENT is transferred to another Health Care Provider on a temporary basis, with the expectation that responsibility will be transferred back at some time in the future. This will end the current Care Programme Approach Episode and suspend the Adult Mental Health Care Spell.

If responsibility for the mental health care for the PATIENT is not transferred back within one year of the suspension starting, it will be considered that the transfer is permanent and the Adult Mental Health Care Spell will be ended. In this eventuality the end date of the Adult Mental Health Care Spell should be taken as the start date of the Mental Health Care Spell Suspension.

The Mental Health Clustering Tool is a type of ASSESSMENT TOOL.

The Mental Health Clustering Tool is a needs assessment tool designed to rate the care needs of a PATIENT, based upon a series of 18 rating scales.

The first 12 of these rating scales are the same as the Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (Working Age Adults) rating scales, originally developed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. These 12 rating scales are numbered 1 - 12 under 'Current Ratings' in the Mental Health Clustering Tool.

One additional 'current' rating and a new section relating to historical ratings have also been added, to form the Mental Health Clustering Tool.  These items are referred to as the Summary Assessment of Characteristics (SAC) items. These items are referred to as the Summary Assessment of Characteristics (SAC) items.

Part 1:  Current Ratings

These ratings relate to the most severe occurrence in the two weeks prior to the Mental Health Clustering Tool ASSESSMENT TOOL COMPLETION DATE.

1. Overactive, aggressive, disruptive or agitated behaviour (current)
2. Non-accidental self injury (current)
3. Problem drinking or drug taking (current)
4. Cognitive problems (current)
5. Physical illness or disability problems (current)
6. Problems associated with hallucinations and delusions (current)
7. Problems with depressed mood (current)
8. Other mental and behavioural problems (current), qualified by specific disorders: and the alphabetical list of headings from the glossary:

•             A  Phobic
•             B  Anxiety
•             C  Obsessive-compulsive
•             D  Stress
•             E  Dissociative
•             F  Somatoform
•             G  Eating
•             H  Sleep
•             I  Sexual
•             J  Other

Part 2:  Historical Ratings

These ratings relate to problems that occur in an episodic or unpredictable way, from a more 'historical' perspective.  Whilst there may not be any direct observation or report of a manifestation during the two weeks prior to the Mental Health Clustering Tool ASSESSMENT TOOL COMPLETION DATE, the evidence and clinical judgement would suggest that there is still a cause for concern that cannot be disregarded.  In these circumstances, any event that remains relevant to the current CARE PLAN should be included. Whilst there may not be any direct observation or report of a manifestation during the two weeks prior to the Mental Health Clustering Tool ASSESSMENT TOOL COMPLETION DATE, the evidence and clinical judgement would suggest that there is still a cause for concern that cannot be disregarded. In these circumstances, any event that remains relevant to the current CARE PLAN should be included.

     A.  Agitated behaviour / expansive mood (historical)
     B.  Repeat self-harm (historical)
     C.  Safeguarding children and vulnerable dependant adults (historical)
     D.  Engagement (historical)
     E.  Vulnerability (historical)

The allowed responses to each of the 18 items in the Mental Health Clustering Tool are:

• 0 - No problem
• 1 - Minor problem requiring no action
• 2 - Mild problem but definitely present
• 3 - Moderately severe problem
• 4 - Severe to very severe problem
• 9 - Not known

The PERSON SCORE from the Mental Health Clustering Tool is used to allocate the PATIENT to the most appropriate Mental Health Care Cluster.

The Mental Health Minimum Data Set was introduced by DSCN 20/99/P13 in April 2000 in response to the lack of national clinical data collection in the mental health arena, in line with the information requirements of the emerging National Service Framework for Mental Health.

Since April 2003 (DSCN 49/2002) it has been a mandatory requirement that all Providers of specialist adult, including elderly, mental health services submit central Mental Health Minimum Data Set returns on a quarterly basis, with an additional annual submission. Prior to April 2013 the frequency of the submission will change to a monthly basis.

The Mental Health Minimum Data Set facilitates the collection of person-focussed clinical data and the sharing of such data to underpin the delivery of mental health care. It is structured around the clinical process and includes an outcome assessment (Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (Working Age Adults), or HoNOS (Working Age Adults)). It records the key role played by partner agencies, particularly social services.

The Mental Health Minimum Data Set describes Adult Mental Health Care Spells. These comprise all interventions made for a PATIENT by a specialist Adult Mental Health Care Team from initial REFERRAL REQUEST to final discharge. For some individuals the Adult Mental Health Care Spell will comprise a short Consultant Out-Patient Episode; for others it may extend over many years and include hospital, community, out-patient and day care episodes.

Information is collected relating to various stages in the journey of the PATIENT, including activity such as Hospital Provider Spells, Consultant Out-Patient Episodes, community care, and NHS day care episodes; mental health reviews and assessments including Care Programme Approach (CPA) and Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (Working Age Adults) contacts with mental health professionals such as care co-ordinators, psychiatric NURSES and CONSULTANTS; and also any diagnosis and treatment.

The prime purpose of the Mental Health Minimum Data Set is to provide local clinicians and managers with better quality information for clinical audit, and service planning and management.

Central collection provides improved national information, facilitating feedback to Trusts, and the setting of benchmarks. It will also allow the delivery of the National Service Framework for Mental Health priorities to be monitored.

The Mental Health Minimum Data Set data is collected from NHS funded providers of specialist mental health services and submitted via the Bureau Services Portal provided by the Systems and Services Delivery (SSD) team. The Bureau Service processes submissions and produces local extracts for provider and commissioner ORGANISATIONS, and a national pseudonymised extract for the Health and Social Care Information Centre, for storage, analysis and reporting.

Please note that the collection of the Mental Health Minimum Data Set does not replace any other collection of mental health data such as the Admitted Patient Care Commissioning Data Set Type Detained and/or Long Term Psychiatric Census, which should continue to be collected.

For further information on the Mental Health Minimum Data Set, please view the Health and Social Care Information Centre website at: Mental Health Minimum Data Set.

This is the NHS Prescription Services code to identify a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.

The DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER is passed to the NHS Prescription Services, which adds a leading character and a check digit to create the GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE. NHS Prescription Services use this for the issue of prescription pads etc.

For England and Wales, in addition to a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE, a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER may have one or more spurious GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER Code(s). These are allocated if a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER works in additional General Medical Practitioner Practice. The spurious GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER Codes are not derived from the DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER, but do follow the same format as the GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE, and are allocated by the NHS Prescription Services. All spurious GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER Codes begin with either 'G6' or 'G7'.

England and Wales General Medical Practitioner Code format

Scottish General Medical Practitioner Code format

Northern Ireland General Medical Practitioner Code format
