Overview Section 1 - Overview & Background The Electronic Community Health Information Project (echip) established by the Scottish Executive Health Department commissioned the development of Allied Health Professions (AHP) Core Data Standards for NHS Scotland in order to ensure a national approach to the collection of clinical and non-clinical data items relating to AHPs. The aim is to ensure inter-compatibility of national clinical information systems and support the implementation of an electronic integrated health record. National data standards will also support data sharing with other agencies through agreed protocols. A multi-disciplinary Clinical Working Group, established in October 2004 and supported by the National Clinical Dataset Development Programme (NCDDP) Support Team in Information Services (ISD), carried out the development of these AHP data standards. The AHP Core Data Standards will: Define common data items recommended for collection in a wide variety of clinical settings Support the exchange of patient information between healthcare providers Support the consistent recording of patient information throughout NHS Scotland It is important to emphasise that these are data standards rather than a dataset. This means that the individual data items included in this document are not required to be recorded together in a single clinical information system. However, where it is considered appropriate to record a particular data item as part of a person s record of care, the information should be recorded in accordance with the nationally agreed standard. We are now asking for feedback from the wider clinical community in order to ensure that these data standards are fit for purpose and ready for inclusion in the national Health and Social Care Data Dictionary. We invite all interested organisations and individuals to take part in this consultation by completing the attached Consultation Response Form and then returning it to NCDDPsupportteam@isd.csa.scot.nhs.uk. Comment on all or a part of the document is welcome. Some background information on the NCDDP and AHP Core Data Standard development can be found below. If you require further information, please go to our Clinical Dataset and/or AHP echip websites or contact liz.mitchell@isd.csa.scot.nhs. Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards The membership of the AHP Core Data Standards Clinical Working Group is shown in appendix 1. This group agreed the inclusion of individual data items using the following criteria: Is the data item required by AHPs in the care of patients? Will it prevent unnecessary duplication of data recording? Would most patients expect this data item to be available/shared? Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards Page 4

Phase one of this work is presented here and extensions to this work is ongoing with considerations of disease specific extensions such as AHP stroke data standards and discipline specific such as podiatry data standards. Simultaneously to the consultation, a National Census of the nine participating AHP s (approximately 8,500 clinicians) will take place using AHP Core Data Standards which describe AHP caseloads. This will practically test the usability and usefulness of these data standards across the disciplines and country. Once consultation is complete the AHP Core Data Standards will be submitted to the NCDDP Programme Board for formal approval as a national standard, and subsequently passed to the ehealth National Clinical Information Steering Group and the NHS Scotland Information Standards Group for endorsement. Once approved the AHP Core Data Standards will be freely and widely available through publication in the Health and Social Care Data Dictionary. It is expected that the AHP Core Data Standards will be implemented within existing and emerging national clinical information systems and commercially procured national products, as well as being available to commercial developers to ensure the ability of their systems to support national information requirements. Background to NCDDP The National Clinical Dataset Development Programme (NCDDP) supports clinicians to develop sets of interoperable national datasets to facilitate the implementation of the integrated care records across NHS Scotland. These standards will: Support direct patient care, by reflecting current best practice guidance Facilitate effective communication between health care professionals Improve data quality and support secondary data requirements where possible including data to support clinical governance Be freely and widely available through publication in the web based Health & Social Care Data Dictionary Incorporate agreed national clinical definitions and implement national terminology Be UK compatible where possible The programme was established by the Chief Medical Officer in 2003 to support clinicians developing national clinical data standards, initially to support the national priority areas. These standards are an essential element of the Electronic Health Record, a central aim of the National e-health Strategy. More information can be found on our website. Generic Data Items Data standards which are relevant to all patients and are used across specialties, disciplines and settings have already been developed by wider Generic Data Standards clinical working groups and approved as national data standards for NHS Scotland. The AHP Core Data Standards working group selected several generic data items for inclusion in their standards. These data item s name and definition are listed in this document for information. The detail of these existing standards are available by contacting barbara.iwinska@isd.csa.scot.nhs.uk and will shortly be published on the web based Health and Social Care Data Dictionary. Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards Page 5

Generic Data Standards Phase 3 is undergoing development and will be consulted upon shortly. If you would like to participate in the Generic Standards Phase 3 consultation, please contact NCDDPsupportteam@isd.csa.scot.nhs.uk. Clinical Terminology The strategic standard for clinical terminology in NHS Scotland is SNOMED-Clinical Terms. This means that clinical information systems will record clinical data using this international standard. It is intended that the NCDDP Support Team will develop recommended SNOMED CT specifications as part of the data standards and datasets it supports. This work will commence once SNOMED CT tools become available. Date Recording It is good record-keeping practice always to identify the date of recording of any clinical information. It is expected that all clinical information systems should include date stamping as standard functionality, therefore the AHP Core Data Standards do not deal with this issue. In many clinical situations, the date of an event, investigation, etc. is required for clinical purposes and should be visible to the health care professional. This date may not be the same as the date on which the data are entered onto the system. In these instances the system must allow the health care professional to enter whichever date is appropriate. These issues must be addressed during system specification and development. The AHP Core Data Standards do not include standards for recording dates, though the date format for storage and management within a system should conform to the Government Data Standards Catalogue format: CCYY-MM-DD. However, this does not preclude entry or display of data on the user interface using the traditional DD-MM-CCYY format. Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards Page 6

Section 2 - AHP Core Data Standards 1. Demographics and Personal Information GENERIC DATA ITEMS Data Item Community Health Index (CHI) Number Structured Name Person Birth Date Person Current Gender Address (BS7666) Postcode UK Telephone Number Internet e-mail Address Registered GP Practice Code GP General Medical Council (GMC) Number Associated Person* Definition The Community Health Index (CHI) is a population register, which is used in Scotland for health care purposes. The CHI number uniquely identifies a person on the index. An ordered sequence of person name elements such as title, forename(s) and family name. The date on which a person was born or is officially deemed to have been born, as recorded on the Birth Certificate A statement by the individual about the gender they currently identify themselves to be (i.e. self-assigned). A collection of data describing the addressing of locations The code allocated by the Post Office to identify a group of postal delivery points. A number, including any exchange or location code, at which a person or organisation can be contacted in the UK by telephonic means. The string of characters that identifies an addressee's post box on the Internet. General Medical Practitioners provide general medical services to the population either in partnership with other GMPs or on a single-handed basis. The term GP practice covers both partnerships and single-handed practices. Each GP practice in Scotland is identified by a unique GP practice code. The practice code is a four-digit code plus a check digit with ranges of codes allocated to each Health Board. (SMR) The GMC (General Medical Council) number is the personal identification number issued to each doctor in the UK by the General Medical Council. Associated person(s) include(s) people who have a significant involvement or relationship with the client/patient (e.g. main carer, next of kin, key holder, emergency contact etc) in a non-care professional capacity. *This item is still being developed in Generic Standards Phase 3 and may change.

2. Associated Professional Details B01: ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSION Main source of standard: Health Professions Council (http://www.hpc-uk.org/) Definition: The recognised Allied Health Profession (AHP) with which the healthcare professional is registered. Recognised Allied Health Professions are those groups of clinicians who belong to the Health Professions Council. Format: 2 characters Codes and values: Code Value 01 Arts Therapy 02 Dietetics 03 Occupational Therapy 04 Orthoptics 05 Physiotherapy 06 Podiatry 07 Radiography & Radiotherapy 08 Prosthetics / Orthotics 09 Speech and Language Therapy 10 Biomedical Scientists 11 Operating Department Practitioners 12 Paramedics 13 Clinical Scientists 98 Other GENERIC DATA ITEMS Data Item Associated Professional* Associated Professional Role* Associated Professional Identifier* Associated Professional Group* Associated Professional Employing Organisation* Associated Professional Base of Service* Definition Those who are involved with the care recipient in a professional care capacity e.g. consultant, social worker, occupational therapist, etc. The role(s) with regard to a particular client/patient and the care context carried out by the professionals (e.g. Named Nurse, Key Worker). The unique identifier issued to all Health and Social care professionals by their professional regulatory body. The recognised professional group to which the care professional belongs. The organisation, body or agency, which currently employs the associated care professional in relation to the role they are fulfilling. Any building or set of buildings where NHS services are based in Scotland. Locations include hospitals, health centres, GP surgeries, clinics, NHS board offices, care Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards Page 8

homes and schools (local authority and otherwise). Each location has a location code (formerly institution code).

If you would like to receive a copy of the consultation document for these standards please contact NCDDPsupportteam@isd.csa.scot.nhs.uk. Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards Page 9

3. Referral Information C01: HEALTH PROBLEM/ISSUE {AHP} Common names: Reason for referral; Presenting problem; Presenting complaint Definition: The reason(s) for the patient requiring involvement with health care professionals. These may include any problem or issue affecting the patient s health and/ or wellbeing. Includes physical, emotional, psychological symptoms, signs and diagnoses; impairment or limitation of body structure or function; impairment or limitation of the patients activities and ability to participate in life situations; and issues relating to their physical, social and attitudinal environment. Format: ICD10 or OPCS4 code, ICF Grouping or Read version 2 code In the future all health problems and issues should be recorded using SNOMED CT and codes. Codes and values: To be developed for specific AHP clinical datasets Attributes: May include any attributes or qualifiers available in the national standard clinical classifications and terminologies, namely IDC10, ICF, OPCS4, Read version 2 or SNOMED CT. For example: Laterality: Severity: Chronicity: Left, right, bilateral Mild, moderate, severe Acute, chronic, recurrent Further information: Health problems and issues may be identified at any point during the patient s involvement with the health care professional. They will often be identified in a referral at which point they may be referred to as the reason for referral or during initial assessment when they may be described as the presenting problem or presenting complaint. However additional health problems and issues may be identified at any stage in the patient s journey of care, for example during treatment or follow-up. Drop-down lists of codes and terms (values) for common health problems and issues can be developed within the context of specific clinical data standards/ datasets. Ideally, IT systems for AHPs should include functionality to enable automatic generation of the ICF high-level grouping code required for summary information from the clinical term entered. Examples of health care problems and issues are: bilateral muscle weakness, chronic left foot ulcer, recurrent falls, failure to thrive, lack of self-esteem, damp housing. Where an IT system is currently unable to implement the appropriate clinical terminology(ies) within its functionality, it would be possible to record health problems and issues using free text. This is not recommended as a long term option. Recording guidance: It is recommended that IT systems incorporate a clinical terminology browser to facilitate recording of appropriate data on health problems Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards Page 10

and issues. The browser should allow selection and display of clinical terms on the user interface whilst storing, managing and transferring such data by the corresponding clinical code. C02: DATE 1 ST APPOINTMENT CREATED Definition: The date on which the first appointment was produced and communicated to the patient. Format: 10 characters (CCYY-MM-DD) Further information: It is assumed that when an appointment is created, the process of communicating that appointment to the patient will be instigated on the same day. This is not necessarily the same as the date on which the patient then receives that communication, which depends on the communication method used. C03: UNAVAILABILITY DATES Common names: Unavailability period Definition: Any date(s) and/ or range(s) of dates during which the patient is unavailable for an appointment or admission. Format: 10 characters (CCYY-MM-DD) Related data items: Availability Status Code Unavailability Days Unavailability Times Recording guidance: IT systems should allow for the recording of multiple unavailability dates and/ or ranges of dates. Where the patient is unavailable for a range of days, the first date entered should be the unavailability start date and the second date entered should be the unavailability end date. C03A: UNAVAILABILITY TIMES Definition: Any morning/afternoon during which the patient is unavailable for an appointment or admission. Format: 2 characters Codes and values: Code Value Explanatory Notes 01 am Before 12 noon 02 pm After 12 noon Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards Page 11

Related data items: Unavailability Dates Unavailability Days of the Week C04: UNAVAILABILITY DAYS OF THE WEEK Common name: Unavailability days Definition: The day(s) of the week on which the patient is unavailable for an appointment or admission. Format: 2 characters Codes and values: Code Value 01 Monday 02 Tuesday 03 Wednesday 04 Thursday 05 Friday 06 Saturday 07 Sunday Sub Data Items Start Date End Date Related data items: Availability Status Code Unavailability Dates Unavailability Times Recording guidance: IT systems should allow for the recording of multiple unavailability days. This is only required if Availability Status Code is A, e.g. if a patient cannot attend a podiatry appointment on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays because they are scheduled to have dialysis on these days. C05: ASSESSED PRIORITY OF APPOINTMENT Common name: Assessed Priority Main source of standard: Derived from SMR Data Standards Referral Category Definition: The priority status of the patient with respect to the urgency of the appointment they should be given as assessed by the care professional. Format: 2 characters Codes and values: Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards Page 12

Code Value Explanatory Notes 01 Urgent For clinical reasons, a patient requires an appointment at the earliest possible opportunity. 02 Soon For clinical reasons, a patient requires an earlier appointment than they would receive if given the next available routine appointment. 03 Routine A patient requires the next available routine appointment. 04 Not Recorded 96 Not applicable 99 Not known Further information: This may be different from the urgency assessed by the person making the referral (as recorded in Urgency of Referral). The Assessed Priority is reached by the care professional receiving the referral assessing the information in the referral and may be supplemented by further information, e.g. where the patient completes a pre-appointment screening questionnaire, telephone triage.

STEP 1: choose one of the categories b, s, d, e, x: Does the patient s overriding health problem issue originate in an impairment or limitation of: (b) Body function Physiological function of the body system. (s) Body structure Anatomical part of the body e.g. organs, limbs and their components. (d) Activities and participation Activity is the execution of a task or action by an individual. Participation is involvement in a life situation. (e) Environmental factors These make up the physical, social and attitudinal environment in which people live and conduct their lives. (x) Unable to match to an ICF code Choose this category if there is no appropriate ICF code. STEP 2: Choose the most appropriate code within the category above. For example to code back pain; the back is a body structure but the main concern to the patient is the level of pain. This means that the pain takes priority and the code will be b2, made up of Body function code b plus Sensory functions and pain sub code 2. Allied Health Professions Core Data Standards Page 28
