A Mental Health Care Cluster Super Class is identified during the process of assigning an Adult Mental Health Care Cluster or Forensic Mental Health Care Cluster to a PATIENT.
A Mental Health Care Cluster Super Class enables the number of applicable Adult Mental Health Care Clusters or Forensic Mental Health Care Clusters to be narrowed down, by deciding if the origin of the presenting condition is primarily:
- Non-psychotic
- Psychotic or
- Organic
If the PATIENT cannot be assigned to an Adult Mental Health Care Cluster or Forensic Mental Health Care Cluster, MENTAL HEALTH CARE CLUSTER SUPER CLASS CODE is recorded as 'Unable to assign PATIENT to Mental Health Care Cluster Super Class'. The PATIENT will automatically be assigned to the ADULT MENTAL HEALTH CARE CLUSTER CODE or FORENSIC MENTAL HEALTH CARE CLUSTER CODE '00 Care Cluster 0 - Variance.'
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.
