Contextual Overview

The NHS need to measure and monitor the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD within PATIENT PATHWAYS to ensure that they are progressing as planned to achieve the 18 weeks target.

In an estimated 10% to 20% of cases, responsibility for the PATIENT PATHWAY will be transferred between Health Care Providers. The receiving Health Care Provider would be unable to report on the 18 weeks target for these cases unless the referring Health Care Provider supplied the PATIENT PATHWAY information at the time of transfer.

This data set specifies the data necessary to permit the receiving Health Care Provider to be able to report the PATIENT's progress along their PATIENT PATHWAY and, in particular, their REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD.

Scope and Collection

• Completion is mandatory for all PATIENTS with a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD where there has been a transfer of care to an alternative Health Care Provider.
• Completion is advisable for PATIENTS without a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD, where there has been a transfer of care to an alternative Health Care Provider, but this is voluntary.
• The referring Organisation should send the data set within 48 hours of DECISION TO REFER DATE (INTER-PROVIDER TRANSFER).
• Inter-provider transfer SERVICE REQUESTS for clinical opinion or diagnostics, where the care of the PATIENT remains with the referring Health Care Provider, are voluntary.
• SERVICE REQUESTS associated with the following PATIENT PATHWAYS are also not currently included:
• • Non-elective PATIENTS
  • Planned admissions (usually part of a planned sequence of clinical care determined mainly on social or clinical criteria, for example, a check cystoscopy).

Where the Inter-Provider Transfer Administrative Minimum Data Set is sent WITH the clinical referral letter it is considered to be complete if the following key data items are included:

• NHS NUMBER
• PATIENT PATHWAY IDENTIFIER
• ORGANISATION CODE (PATIENT PATHWAY IDENTIFIER ISSUER)
• REFERRING ORGANISATION CODE
• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE
• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS (INTER-PROVIDER TRANSFER)

Where the Inter-Provider Transfer Administrative Minimum Data Set is sent independently of the clinical referral letter, ALL mandated Inter-Provider Transfer Administrative Minimum Data Set data items must be completed.

Further Guidance

Further guidance on the data set can be found in 'The Inter-Provider Transfer Administrative Data Set Operational Information Standard' and in DSCN 30/2007.

Further guidance and definitions on REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIODS and those PATIENT PATHWAYS included within the Consultant-Led Referral to Treatment Waiting Times can be found on the NHS England website.Further guidance and definitions on REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIODS and those PATIENT PATHWAYS included within the Consultant-Led Referral to Treatment Waiting Times can be found on the NHS England website at: Consultant-led Referral to Treatment Waiting Times.

National Cancer Waiting Times Monitoring Data Set

Concept of Operation and Patient Pathway Scenarios:

The National Cancer Waiting Times Monitoring Data Set is a generic data set designed to support the monitoring of waiting times for a variety of different pathways of cancer care. For the purpose of this data collection cancer is defined using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. The full list of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnosis codes is available on the NHS Digital website at: Cancer Waiting Times.

Collection and submission of the National Cancer Waiting Times Monitoring Data Set is to be managed according to the maximum waiting time and information requirements of the pathway of care for each individual PATIENT. These requirements for providers of cancer SERVICES to return data to the Cancer Waiting Times Database are defined using different scenarios.

• Scenario 1a:
  The Health Care Provider where the PATIENT is first seen following a REFERRAL REQUEST with PRIORITY TYPE 'Two Week Wait', or where an urgent referral is from an NHS Cancer Screening Programme, and where the PATIENT has not had a Decision To Treat, has not had the diagnosis outcome communicated, and the PATIENT has not been excluded from the Cancer Faster Diagnosis Pathway. No inter-provider transfers are in progress.
• Scenario 1b:
  The Health Care Provider where the PATIENT is first seen following a REFERRAL REQUEST with PRIORITY TYPE 'Two Week Wait', or where an urgent referral is from an NHS Cancer Screening Programme, and where the PATIENT has not had a Decision To Treat, has had the diagnosis outcome communicated, and the PATIENT has not been excluded from the Cancer Faster Diagnosis Pathway. No inter-provider transfers are in progress.

• Scenario 4:
  The Health Care Provider where the PATIENT receives First Definitive Treatment for cancer following a consultant upgrade onto a 62 day PATIENT PATHWAY. No inter-provider transfers are in progress.
• Scenario 5:
  The Health Care Provider where the PATIENT receives second or subsequent treatment for cancer following a consultant upgrade onto a 62 day PATIENT PATHWAY. No inter-provider transfers are in progress.
• Scenario 6:
  The Health Care Provider where the PATIENT receives First Definitive Treatment for cancer following a REFERRAL REQUEST from another SOURCE OF REFERRAL FOR OUT-PATIENTS or a different PRIORITY TYPE. No inter-provider transfers are in progress.
• Scenario 7:
  The Health Care Provider where the PATIENT receives second or subsequent treatment for cancer following a REFERRAL REQUEST from another SOURCE OF REFERRAL FOR OUT-PATIENTS or a different PRIORITY TYPE. No inter-provider transfers are in progress.

Introduction

The Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set (NCCMDS) provides a record of what happens to a PATIENT when they receive Neonatal Critical Care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Maternity WARD, or Neonatal Transitional Care WARD.

The primary purpose of the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set is to allow the operation of the National Tariff Payment System within neonatal critical care. The Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set supports the National Tariff Payment System by capturing the data needed to generate a Healthcare Resource Group (HRG) for each calendar day (or part thereof) of a period of neonatal critical care; these Healthcare Resource Groups are then used to inform the annual aggregate costing exercise, NHS Reference Costs.

Scope and Uses

Scope and Uses

The scope of the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set is:

a) All PATIENTS on a WARD with a CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION of National Code '13 - Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Neonatal critical care patients predominate)'.

b) All PATIENTS (excluding Mothers) on a WARD with a CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION of National Code:

• 14 - Facility for Babies on a Neonatal Transitional Care Ward
• 15 - Facility for Babies on a Maternity Ward

to whom one or more of the following CRITICAL CARE ACTIVITY CODES applies for a period greater than 4 hours:

This data is captured and recorded locally and may be used for the purposes of direct care, clinical audit, Reference Costs, and other local uses. Any transmission of the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set must be covered by fair processing arrangements in accordance with information governance criteria and appropriate local arrangements. 

Commissioning Data Set Transmission

Subject to the Commissioning Data Set Version 6-2 XML Schema Constraints, the Neonatal Critical Care Minimum Data Set is carried into the Secondary Uses Service (SUS) as a part of the following Commissioning Data Set messages, see SCCI0075:

• CDS V6-2 Type 120 - Admitted Patient Care - Finished Birth Episode Commissioning Data Set
• CDS V6-2 Type 130 - Admitted Patient Care - Finished General Episode Commissioning Data Set
• CDS V6-2 Type 180 - Admitted Patient Care - Unfinished Birth Episode Commissioning Data Set
• CDS V6-2 Type 190 - Admitted Patient Care - Unfinished General Episode Commissioning Data Set 

The Secondary Uses Service groups this data into neonatal critical care Healthcare Resource Groups; these are a mandated currency under the National Tariff Payment System. Further guidance can be found on the NHS Digital website at: SCCI0075.
