An Adult Mental Health Care Cluster is a type of CARE CLUSTER for adult PATIENTS.

An Adult Mental Health Care Cluster is part of a currency developed to support the National Tariff Payment System for Mental Health Services.

Adult 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.

An Adult Mental Health Care Cluster is assigned using a decision tree or algorithm based on the PERSON SCORE from the Adult 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 Adult 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 Adult Mental Health Care Clusters.

Further information relating to the Adult Mental Health Clustering Tool and Adult Mental Health Care Clusters is available from the NHS England website at: NHS payment system.Further information relating to the Adult Mental Health Clustering Tool and Adult Mental Health Care Clusters is available from the NHS England website at: NHS payment system.

The Adult Mental Health Clustering Tool is a type of Clustering Tool for adult PATIENTS receiving Mental Health care.

The Adult 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 Adult Mental Health Clustering Tool.

One additional 'current' rating and a new section relating to historical ratings have also been added, to form the Adult Mental Health Clustering Tool. 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 Adult 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. Mental strain/tension
  • E. Dissociative
  • F. Somatoform
  • G. Eating
  • H. Sleep
  • I. Sexual
  • J. Other
• 9. Problems with relationships (current)
• 10. Problems with activities of daily living (current)
• 11. Problems with living conditions (current)
• 12. Problems with occupation and activities (current)
• 13. Strong unreasonable beliefs that are not psychotic in origin (current)

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 Adult 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 other children and vulnerable adults (historical)
• D. Engagement (historical)
• E. Vulnerability (historical)

The allowed responses to each of the 18 items in the Adult 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 Adult Mental Health Clustering Tool is used to allocate the PATIENT to the most appropriate Adult Mental Health Care Cluster.

For further information see the American Society of Anesthesiologists website at: ASA Physical Status Classification System. For further information see the American Society of Anesthesiologists website at: ASA Physical Status Classification System.

National Codes:

The intention of a Cancer Care Plan developed within a Cancer Care Spell.

National Codes:

The type of care setting where the cancer care, relating to the TREATMENT START DATE (CANCER), took place.

Where the cancer care is delivered during a Hospital Provider Spell, distinction is made between care delivered as part of an ordinary admission (where the PATIENT CLASSIFICATION is National Code 'Ordinary Admission') and a day case admission (where PATIENT CLASSIFICATION is National Code 'Day case admission').

National Codes:

A unique clinical terminology identifier for a CODED CLINICAL ENTRY.

This could be Read Coded Clinical Terms, SNOMED CT concepts or defined in the National Interim Clinical Imaging Procedure Code Set.This could be Read Coded Clinical Terms, SNOMED CT concepts / expressions, or defined in the National Interim Clinical Imaging Procedure Code Set.

See Clinical Coding for further information about the types of CODED CLINICAL ENTRIES.

Note: SNOMED CT is the Information Standard for clinical terminology for use within the NHS; it is planned that in time this will be the only terminology used by the NHS.

A code uniquely identifying a CONSULTANT.

The CONSULTANT CODE is derived from either the GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER for GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS, or the GENERAL DENTAL COUNCIL REGISTRATION NUMBER for GENERAL DENTAL PRACTITIONERS (where the Dentist doesn't have a GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER).

For GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS working as CONSULTANTS, the GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER's GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER should be used, see data item note for GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER (SPECIFIED).

For GENERAL DENTAL PRACTITIONERS working as a:

• Hospital CONSULTANT, the GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER should be used, prefixed with "C"
• Dental CONSULTANT:
  • Who does not have a GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER, the GENERAL DENTAL COUNCIL REGISTRATION NUMBER should be used, prefixed with "CD".
  • Where the GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER or GENERAL DENTAL COUNCIL REGISTRATION NUMBER is not known, the default code should be used, see CONSULTANT CODE or Organisation Data Service Default Codes.

For further information, see the Organisation Data Service pages of the NHS England website at:

• Technical guides: Standards repository guide
• Miscellaneous.
• Supporting documents: Standards repository guide
• Miscellaneous.

For NHS PATIENTS treated overseas, the commissioner of the overseas treatment is responsible for assuring that the overseas doctor is provided with a GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER. In the case of overseas doctors, the default code C9999998 should only be used where no GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER has been assigned.

For Commissioning Data Set version 6-2, default CONSULTANT CODES are used to identify ACTIVITY which is led by a NURSE, MIDWIFE or ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. See CONSULTANT CODE for the default codes.

For Commissioning Data Set version 6-3 onwards, CONSULTANT CODE is replaced by PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION ENTRY IDENTIFIER, which allows submission of the actual PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION code for NURSES, MIDWIVES and ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, as well as CONSULTANTS.

The General Medical Council allocates all doctors a GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER on their first contact with the General Medical Council.

• If a doctor chooses to enter general practice in England or Wales, a further number is allocated by the NHS Business Services Authority. This number is referred to as the DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER.
• The DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER is used as the prescribing code on PRESCRIPTIONS.

A doctor can be both a GENERAL PRACTITIONER and a Hospital CONSULTANT, and therefore hold a DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER, GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE and a CONSULTANT CODE simultaneously.

A GENERAL DENTAL COUNCIL REGISTRATION NUMBER is allocated to a GENERAL DENTAL PRACTITIONER by the General Dental Council.

All GENERAL DENTAL PRACTITIONERS and Dental Care Professionals who practise in the United Kingdom must be registered with the General Dental Council.

This includes, all Dentists, Dental Nurses, Dental Technicians, Dental Hygienists, Dental Therapists, Clinical Dental Technicians and Orthodontic Therapists

The General Dental Council Dentists Register lists all Dentists registered with the General Dental Council.

Note: The General Dental Council also maintains the General Dental Council Dental Care Professionals Register and the General Dental Council Specialist Lists in Distinctive Branches of Dentistry.

For further information on Dentist registration, see the General Dental Council website at: Search the registers.

For Commissioning Data Set version 6-2, for GENERAL DENTAL PRACTITIONERS working as a dental CONSULTANT who do not have a GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL REFERENCE NUMBER, the GENERAL DENTAL COUNCIL REGISTRATION NUMBER should be used to derive the CONSULTANT CODE, prefixed with "CD".

Note: GENERAL DENTAL COUNCIL REGISTRATION NUMBERS vary in length. Filling zeros are used between the prefix and GENERAL DENTAL COUNCIL REGISTRATION NUMBER, where required, to maintain total length of eight characters.

For further information, see the Organisation Data Service pages of the NHS England website at: English Dental Consultants.For further information, see the Organisation Data Service pages of the NHS England website at: English Dental Consultants.

The NHS Prescription Services code to identify a GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.

The GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE is based on the NHS England issued DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER and is issued by the NHS Prescription Services. The GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER PPD CODE is the DOCTOR INDEX NUMBER prefixed with a leading character and with a check digit added.

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'.
• For further information on 'spurious' codes , see the NHS Business Services Authority website at: Information on spurious codes.
