Auditor This can be completed by any member of staff within your organisation. This person should be in a position senior enough to have access to the required information. 2. Completion of One should be completed and submitted for each completed LCP document entered into the audit. All fields must be filled in before the can be indicated as Complete and data must be submitted between 1 st April and 30 th June 2011 (final submission by Friday 8th July 2011). Sample size is a minimum of 30 completed LCPs, although hospitals are encouraged to submit as many patient data sets as possible throughout the data collection period, in order to ensure a more robust feedback of data to compare with the national benchmark. Data Protection: NCDAH Round 3 Disclaimer All care has been taken to ensure confidentiality within this electronic data submission tool, and therefore Organisations are prohibited to enter any data that may identify an organisation or patient e.g. organisation names, or patient identifiable information. All guidance must be followed for the completion of any electronic. The NCDAH data entry tool has been designed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and no patient/organisation identifiable information is needed to complete the audit.

3 CONTENTS PAGE How to identify your sample of patients 4 How to complete the Demographic Information section of your 5 6 Generic Guidance for those hospitals using LCP Generic Version 12 or matched alternative Initial Assessment Ongoing Assessment Care After Death It is imperative that all guidance is followed strictly to ensure that the data from each individual hospital can be successfully brought together to provide feedback that is accurate and meaningful Final submission of your completed s (data collection period 1 st April 30 th June 2011) is required by 8 th July 2011, however, you should aim to enter your data consecutively from 1 st April. It is important to remember that information about the number of total deaths in your Hospital Trust for the whole 3 month data collection period will be required in order to complete the NCDAH organisational. Therefore, it is vital that you continue to collect information about the number of deaths that occur in your Hospital Trust for the whole of the data collection period. NCDAH Clinical Audit Coding Guidelines April of 21

4 How to identify your sample of patients The sample for this audit is drawn from the population of deaths supported by the Liverpool Care Pathway for the Dying Patient (LCP) generic version 12, or matched alternative occurring in your hospital in the three month period between 1 st April 2011 and 30 th June 2011 (inclusive). You should enter data into the online tool for each consecutive death supported by the LCP or matched alternative, occurring on or after 1 st April 2011 until the end of the data collection period. We have suggested a minimum sample size of 30, however organisations are encouraged to enter as many LCPs as they have during the data collection phase to ensure a robust and representative sample to compare with the national benchmark. However, as entry into the audit has been judged using the LCP or matched alternative you submitted at registration, only deaths supported by this version of the LCP should be included in the sample. Data quality: Inter-Auditor Reliability In order to assess the quality of data submitted, a second auditor from within each hospital will be required to independently code 4 patient data sets using this guidance. This data will be used to estimate how faithfully the data has been coded onto the. The separate user name and password for the submission of this data is included in the document Inter-auditor Reliability attached to the NCDAH Round 3 Data Entry and Submission . Data Protection: NCDAH Round 3 Disclaimer All care has been taken to ensure confidentiality within this electronic data submission tool, and therefore Organisations are prohibited to enter any data that may identify an organisation or patient e.g. organisation names, or patient identifiable information. All guidance must be followed for the completion of any electronic. The NCDAH data entry tool has been designed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and no patient/organisation identifiable information is needed to complete the audit.

5 NCDAH Round 3 NCDAH Clinical Audit Proforma Coding Guidelines Demographic Information Data Item Patient Identifier Patient Age Gender Hours on LCP Month of Death Did the patient have Dementia as a co-morbidity? Primary Diagnosis Explanation It is vital that patient confidentiality and anonymity is preserved. For this reason you will need to assign a patient identifier for each submitted. Please number the s 1 30 etc, where number 1 represents the first patient death supported by an LCP or matched alternative from 1 st April This patient identifier is crucial so if queries arise during our analysis, they can be resolved quickly. We recommend that you photocopy all LCPs or matched alternatives from which data were submitted and record the relevant patient identifier on each copy. All data collected should be stored securely within a locked cabinet, to which only designated personnel have access. Using the patient s date of birth, please calculate the patient s age at time of death rounded down to the nearest whole number of years. e.g.: Patient s DOB = 10 th April 1940 Patient s DOD = 8 th April 2011 Age = 70 Please code the corresponding selection on the This should be calculated as the time between the date and time of death and the date and time recorded when the LCP or matched alternative was commenced, or where this has not been recorded, of the date and time of the first observation in the ongoing assessment). Make sure this is entered in number of hours and not in days, and also round up or down to the nearest hour, as appropriate. Eg: if the LCP or matched alternative was commenced at hours on 24 th April 2011 and the patient died at hours on 26 th April 2011, the number of hours that the patients care was supported by the LCP would be recorded as 51 hours (not 52 as the patient was alive for fewer than 30 minutes into the next hour). This information will allow us to calculate the length of time taken for you to collect your 30 LCPs or matched alternative, and to ensure that all data submitted is from within the appropriate time period. Please select the correct month by clicking on the appropriate selection on the. Please code Yes if the patient a diagnosis of dementia that coexists with the diagnosis of a separate, primary medical condition. The 'Primary Diagnosis' is the main illness that the patient was suffering from at the time of death, which may or may not be the same as the direct cause of death. This information will allow us to understand more about the patient sample, and in particular to calculate the percentage of patients with a cancer or non cancer diagnosis. If you have any difficulty in coding the information correctly from the LCP or matched alternative to the, please refer to the following website: The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10 th revision 2006 (ICD-10) website: www3.who.int/icd/currentversion/fr-icd.htm NCDAH Clinical Audit Coding Guidelines April of 21

The seeks information regarding the last 24 hours of the patient s life (approximately). The boxes on the are numbered 1-6 (where 1 represents the last possible assessment prior to the patient s death). In order to complete this section accurately, it is important to identify the last observation time possible prior to the time at which the patient died, and also the time the LCP was commenced where known, or date and time of first ongoing assessment. Example: LCP commenced on 09/04/11 at 0730 Patient died on 10/04/11 at 0100 Last possible observation would be 2400 on 09/04/11 Then count back a further 5 observations (6 in total) and code accordingly A (Achieved) has been recorded against a particular goal in a given time point, you should enter a 1 - Achieved into the corresponding box on the.

Where an assessment was possible (i.e. the patient was being supported by the LCP at the time of the assessment) but the box has been left blank, you should enter a 9 - Missing into the corresponding box on the to indicate that the goal was not documented. Where a patient was supported by the LCP for less than 24 hours there will be legitimate blank boxes in the 6 timeslots that you have previously identified.
