Cover of Vaccination Evaluated Rapidly (COVER) Data Set Overview

The Cover of Vaccination Evaluated Rapidly (COVER) Data Set has been incorporated early to allow users to see the changes, but please note the implementation date is 1st October 2015.

The Commissioning Data Set Addressing Grid below illustrates which ORGANISATION CODES should be used to populate the CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY and CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY for each PATIENT / NHS SERVICE AGREEMENT.  See the specific ORGANISATION CODE Data Elements for further information on their usage and Organisation Data Service Default Codes etc.

Health Care Providers need to specify the ORGANISATIONS that have a right to the commissioning data set data as a CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY or CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY. This is so that they can access the data once it has been stored in the Secondary Uses Service.

Please note that payment via the National Tariff Payment System is not determined by the CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY or CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY.

Important Notes:

• The CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY must be allocated on the first creation and submission of a CDS Type for a PATIENT and must not change even if the ADDRESS or ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY) of the PATIENT changes during the lifetime of the Commissioning Data Set record otherwise duplicate Commissioning Data Set data may be lodged in the Secondary Uses Service database.
  See the supporting information in Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocol for a detailed explanation.
• 
  
• Note that if two recipients are identical for example, the ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY) may be the same as the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER), only one entry for that ORGANISATION should be made for that recipient.
• 
  
• Specialised service ACTIVITY commissioned by a regional Specialised Commissioning Group should include their ORGANISATION CODE as a CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY. ACTIVITY commissioned by a shared service ORGANISATION or other consortium of Primary Care Trusts, should similarly include the ORGANISATION CODE of the shared service or the lead Primary Care Trust, if this does not already appear as a CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY or CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY.

  Notes:

  *Key to population codes:

  M - This Data Element is mandatory in the CDS-XML schema. Submissions will not flow if this Data Element is absent
  O - This Data Element is optional.

  **   Specialised Services and Other Commissioning Consortia Service Agreements include SERVICES that are commissioned by regional Specialised Commissioning Groups and local arrangements for commissioning ACTIVITY through shared service ORGANISATIONS.

  For supplementary information on the Commissioning Data Sets, see the NHS Data Model and Dictionary website.

The Commissioning Data Sets 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 CODE 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 ORGANISATIONS should, as a minimum process, commence migration to use the CDS-XML Version 6 Message for weekly Net Change submissions by March 2009.

Net Change:
Net Change processes are managed by specific data settings as defined in the CDS V6-2 Type 005N - Commissioning Data Set 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:

• CDS SENDER IDENTITY
• CDS UNIQUE IDENTIFIER
• CDS APPLICABLE DATE
• CDS APPLICABLE TIME

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 Commissioning Data Set Submission and Organisation 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. 

Where CDS UPDATE TYPE 1 is required (delete/cancellation), an empty XML element called 'Delete Transaction' can be used instead of submitting he original CDS Type record, after the CDS V6-2 Type 005N - CDS Transaction Header Group - Net Change Protocol. See the CDS V6-2- XML Schema-Release Notes-v1-0. See the CDS V6-2- XML Schema Release Notes which can be downloaded via the XML Schema TRUD Download page.

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 NHS Trust, NHS Foundation Trust or Independent Sector Healthcare Provider.

Bulk Replacement
Bulk Replacement processes are managed by specific data settings as defined in the CDS V6-2 Type 005B - Commissioning Data Set 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:

• CDS SENDER IDENTITY
• CDS BULK REPLACEMENT GROUP CODE
• CDS EXTRACT DATE
• CDS EXTRACT TIME
• CDS REPORT PERIOD START DATE
• CDS REPORT PERIOD END DATE
• CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY

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

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 ORGANISATION.

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).

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 Health Care Provider sub-contracts healthcare provision and its associated Commissioning Data Set submission to a second ORGANISATION (eg a different Health Care Provider or a Shared Services Organisation), arrangements to submit the Commissioning Data Set data must be made locally to ensure that only one ORGANISATION sends the Commissioning Data Set data to the Secondary Uses Service.

If the second ORGANISATION wishes to add other Commissioning data to the Secondary Uses Service database to that already submitted by the first ORGANISATION, 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 ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF PROVIDER) in order to change the CDS INTERCHANGE SENDER IDENTITY should this become necessary.

Contextual Overview Contextual Overview

The Female Genital Mutilation Data Set provides essential information in relation to the female genital mutilation population across England.The Female Genital Mutilation Data Set provides essential information in relation to the female genital mutilation population across England.

The Female Genital Mutilation Data Set is used:

• To publish Official Statistics which will inform the Department of Health, NHS England, other Government Agencies and the public, about female genital mutilation when it has been identified
• To identify the potential risk of female genital mutilation to young girls and vulnerable women
• For better planning and management of female genital mutilation SERVICES at a local level and across England

Data may be input immediately using an input screen via the HSCIC Clinical Audit Platform when female genital mutilation is identified, or data extracts for Patients, can be submitted as a bulk upload on a monthly basis for each ORGANISATION.

CARE CONTACT activities undertaken for female genital mutilation PATIENTS during the REPORTING PERIOD are reported in the data upload.  This includes any attendances at an Out-Patient Clinic led by any type of CARE PROFESSIONAL, Hospital Provider Spells, Accident and Emergency Attendances, Group Therapy, Ward Attendances; or any other type of direct PATIENT-facing CARE CONTACT.

The associated SNOMED CT Subsets for the Female Genital Mutilation Data Set are listed below:

• Female genital mutilation related findings - Original ID 58681000000133
• Female genital mutilation related procedures - Original ID 58671000000131

DATA EXTRACT SPECIFICATION

Description:

The Department of Health requires all NHS Trusts, NHS Foundation Trusts and GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS to generate and provide a data extract in accordance with the Female Genital Mutilation Data Set. This requirement is applicable to all CARE PROFESSIONALS in these ORGANISATIONS whenever it has been identified that a woman or young girl has indergone female genital mutilation. This requirement is applicable to all CARE PROFESSIONALS in these ORGANISATIONS whenever it has been identified that a woman or young girl has undergone female genital mutilation.

Time period:

Data extracted from systems can be submitted as a bulk upload on a monthly basis for each ORGANISATION.

Format:

Data submitted by the bulk upload facility must be formatted in 3 separate comma separated variable (csv) files (i.e. Patient, Attendance or Female Genital Mutilation), which are used to populate the Health and Social Care Information Centre Clinical Audit Platform. The data elements should be transmitted in the order specified in the Female Genital Mutilation Data Set.

Transmission

Electronic files must be transmitted to the Health and Social Care Information Centre via the Clinical Audit Platform which is a secure web portal.

Connection to the web portal requires registration to the Clinical Audit Platform, which will include the provision of a login account name and password.

Further information about the Clinical Audit Platform and the data upload facility can be found on the Clinical Audit Platform web pages on the Health and Social Care Infomation Centre website.Further information about the Clinical Audit Platform and the data upload facility can be found on the Clinical Audit Platform web pages on the Health and Social Care Information Centre website.
