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

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. Further guidance can be found on the NHS Digital website at: SCCI0075.

Introduction

The Paediatric Critical Care Minimum Data Set (PCCMDS) provides a record of what happens to a PATIENT when they receive Paediatric Critical Care in a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, or other critical care setting suitable for children.

The primary purpose of the Paediatric Critical Care Minimum Data Set is to allow the operation of the National Tariff Payment System within paediatric critical care. The Paediatric 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 paediatric critical care; these Healthcare Resource Groups are then used to inform the annual aggregate costing exercise, NHS Reference Costs.

Scope and Uses

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

a) All PATIENTS on a WARD with a CRITICAL CARE UNIT FUNCTION of National Code '04 - Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (Paediatric critical care patients predominate)'

• 16 - Ward for children and young people
• 17 - High Dependency Unit for children and young people
• 18 - Renal Unit for children and young people
• 19 - Burns Unit for children and young people
• 92 - Non standard location using the operating department for children and young people

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

Notes:

• * National Code 05 applies as an inclusion criterion for acute PATIENTS only: it does not apply with chronic PATIENTS.
• ** National Code 09 applies as an inclusion criterion when the PATIENT receives supplementary Oxygen Therapy, irrespective of their ventilatory state.

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 Paediatric 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

National Codes:

A unique code identifying each MAIN SPECIALTY designated by Royal Colleges. This is the same as the NHS OCCUPATION CODES describing specialties.

Specialties are divisions of clinical work which may be defined by body systems (dermatology), age (paediatrics), clinical technology (nuclear medicine), clinical function (rheumatology), group of diseases (oncology) or combinations of these factors. Only Specialty titles recognised by the Royal Colleges and Faculties should be used. This list is maintained by the General and Specialist Medical Practice (Education, Training and Qualifications) Order 2003 and European Primary and Specialist Dental Qualifications Regulations 1998.

Each CONSULTANT should be assigned a MAIN SPECIALTY by the Organisation to which the CONSULTANT is contracted. For physicians and surgeons with a generalist component to their work, the MAIN SPECIALTY should be general medicine or general surgery. The hallmark of a general physician or general surgeon is the continued care of unselected emergency referrals. The MAIN SPECIALTY is specific to a Health Care Provider. If, for example, a CONSULTANT physician working in two Health Care Providers has a generalist component to the work in one and not the other, general medicine is only assigned as the MAIN SPECIALTY in the former case. CONSULTANTS in general medicine or general surgery may also have specialist interests and these should be recorded as well as the MAIN SPECIALTY.

The initial source of the information should be the designation on the CONSULTANT's contract. This should be checked periodically against the work a CONSULTANT is actually doing so that the statistics can relate to a CONSULTANT's current type of work.

The MAIN SPECIALTY only should be used for the purpose of producing Specialty costing statistics and for Workforce statistics where links with ACTIVITY and finance are required. Other specialist interests of CONSULTANTS may be recorded for workforce planning purposes.

This will be used to indicate the skill level of medical and dental employees.

Pseudo MAIN SPECIALTY CODES should be used in Commissioning Data Set messages for lead CARE PROFESSIONALS other than CONSULTANT medical and dental staff e.g. 560, 950 and 960.

The MAIN SPECIALTY CODE for GENERAL PRACTITIONERS is General Medical Practice or General Dental Practice.

Joint Consultant Clinic ACTIVITY should be recorded against the MAIN SPECIALTY CODE of the CONSULTANT managing the clinic.

For further information, contact NHS Digital by email at: enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk with the subject "Main Specialty and Treatment Function Codes".
