A Care Professional Out-Patient Episode is an ACTIVITY GROUP.

A Care Professional Out-Patient Episode is an episode of care for a PATIENT comprising a series of one or more Care Professional Out-Patient Attendances, relating to one REFERRAL REQUEST, managed by the same CARE PROFESSIONAL.

In the case of shared care by two or more CARE PROFESSIONALS equally participating in the care of the PATIENT, one CARE PROFESSIONAL will take overriding responsibility for the PATIENT and only one Care Professional Out-Patient Episode is recorded.

A Care Professional Out-Patient Episode can overlap with other Care Professional Out-Patient Episodes, or with Hospital Provider Spells for a PATIENT using a Hospital Bed.  For example, a PATIENT in a long-stay WARD under the care of a CONSULTANT psychiatrist might also be seeing a CONSULTANT surgeon as an out-patient. 

A Care Professional Out-Patient Episode starts on the date the PATIENT first sees or is in contact with the CARE PROFESSIONAL at a Care Professional Out-Patient Attendance.

A Care Professional Out-Patient Episode ends when the PATIENT is formally discharged from the care of the CARE PROFESSIONAL.  Where the PATIENT is not subject to a Personalised Out-Patient Follow Up Pathway, the PATIENT may be discharged according to local clinical protocols after an agreed period of time. 

A Care Professional Out-Patient Episode would not necessarily terminate because a PATIENT was admitted into hospital or placed on an ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST; if further APPOINTMENTS in respect of the same REFERRAL REQUEST with the CARE PROFESSIONAL are intended or expected, these would all be included in the same Care Professional Out-Patient Episode, with Care Professional Out-Patient Attendances after the end of a Hospital Provider Spell recorded as follow-up attendances.

If after formal discharge the condition of the PATIENT deteriorates and the PATIENT is re-referred to the same CARE PROFESSIONAL, a new Care Professional Out-Patient Episode should be created.

During the Care Professional Out-Patient Episode the PATIENT may be subject to more than one ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORY PERIODS.

For CONSULTANT-led Care Professional Out-Patient Episodes:

• if the TREATMENT FUNCTION under which the PATIENT is being treated changes, but the CONSULTANT stays the same, this is a continuation of the same Care Professional Out-Patient Episode
• if the CONSULTANT changes but the MAIN SPECIALTY and TREATMENT FUNCTION under which the PATIENT is being treated stay the same, this is a new Care Professional Out-Patient Episode.
  CARE ACTIVITIES related to the same REFERRAL REQUEST undertaken by other members of the CONSULTANTs team (such as junior doctors or NURSES) should be assigned to the same Care Professional Out-Patient Episode
• if the TREATMENT FUNCTION under which the PATIENT is being treated changes, but the CONSULTANT stays the same, this is a continuation of the same Care Professional Out-Patient Episode.
• if the CONSULTANT changes but the MAIN SPECIALTY and TREATMENT FUNCTION under which the PATIENT is being treated stay the same, this is a new Care Professional Out-Patient Episode.
• CARE ACTIVITIES related to the same REFERRAL REQUEST undertaken by other members of the CONSULTANTs team (such as junior doctors or NURSES) should be assigned to the same Care Professional Out-Patient Episode.

For non-CONSULTANT-led Care Professional Out-Patient Episodes:

• For REFERRAL REQUESTS to team-led services, such as MIDWIFE care for Maternity PATIENTS, a single Care Professional Out-Patient Episode is recorded regardless of whether the PATIENT sees the same CARE PROFESSIONAL at each Care Professional Out-Patient Attendance 
• For REFERRAL REQUESTS to team-led services, such as MIDWIFE care for Maternity PATIENTS, a single Care Professional Out-Patient Episode is recorded regardless of whether the PATIENT sees the same CARE PROFESSIONAL at each Care Professional Out-Patient Attendance.

This page has been updated in DDCN 1645 (Specialised Commissioning: Removal of Default Code YDD82) to remove the National Commissioning Group, as NHS England became responsible for commissioning all specialised services in April 2013.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.

This page has been updated in DDCN 1645 (Specialised Commissioning: Removal of Default Code YDD82) to remove the National Commissioning Group, as NHS England became responsible for commissioning all specialised services in April 2013.
The page will be updated as part of an Information Standard to reflect the current arrangements for the Commissioning Data Sets.

Note that the Commissioning Data Set Addressing Grid is only applicable for Commissioning Data Set version 6-2, as CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY and CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY have been replaced with ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (CDS RECIPIENT) in Commissioning Data Set version 6-3.

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.

The XML Schemas and supporting information can be downloaded from Technology Reference Update Distribution (TRUD) at: NHS Data Model and Dictionary: DD XML Schemas.

The XML Schema Version numbering format used in the Commissioning Data Sets.

The CDS XML Schema Version Number Format

The use of XML was mandated by the e-Government Interoperability Framework (e-GIF) programme as the standard to be used for messaging by government organisations and was adopted by the NHS.

Note:
e-GIF and the Government Data Standards Catalogue have been archived and are available for reference only.

The CDS XML Schema adopts version numbering techniques in line with published e-GOV best practice guidelines. All schema components are version numbered and date qualified; the following is an example of the adopted format:

CDS XML Message Root
CDS XML Message Root:

Example: V6-0-2007-03-01 (Note that dash separators are used).
[Schema Filename] + [Major Version Number] + [Minor Version Number] + [Version Date]

The Major Version Number:

This is incremented when fundamental change has taken place such as:

• Major addition / deletion / change of XML Schema business functionality
• Major change to the technical design of the schema
• Re-alignment of the XML Schema Version Number after cumulative changes

The Minor Version Number:

This is incremented for all XML Schema changes not warranting a Major Version Number increment (as above).
Examples are:

• Minor changes to XML Schema business functionality
• Minor changes to the XML Schema data structures that are not upwardly compatible*
• Addition and/or deletion of data items that are not upwardly compatible*
• Changes to data item facet definitions that are not upwardly compatible*

Version Date:

This may be adjusted as a defined reference point for a no risk XML Schema release to reflect minor changes and corrective releases.
Examples are:

• Minor changes to the XML Schema data structures that are upwardly compatible* for instance the addition of an optional data item.
• Changes to data item facet definitions that are upwardly compatible* for instance the addition (but not the deletion) of code values to a data item enumeration list.
• Interim development versions, released for information only

* Upwardly Compatible:

Minor changes and adjustments to the XML Schema which introduce little or no risk of increased data rejection are deemed upwardly compatible.

For example, corrective adjustments, which align the XML Schema to the authorised NHS Data Standards as published in the NHS Data Model and Dictionary often fall within this category.

The XML Schema Date:

All XML Schema releases have a designated SchemaDate XML Attribute.

XML Schema Version Control - The Schema Root:

The schema root is the single entry point to the XML Schema and XML Attributes for the following are validated:

• SchemaVersion
• SchemaDate
