Note:
-
National Code 5 'Stillbirth' is not valid for the Mental Health Services Data Set
-
The following National Codes have been introduced for the Mental Health Services Data Set only to add further granularity to National Code 2 ' PATIENT discharged him/herself or was discharged by a relative or advocate'. However, National Code 2 is still valid for the Mental Health Services Data Set where extra detail cannot be collected:
DISCHARGE METHOD will be replaced with METHOD OF DISCHARGE, which is the most recent approved national information standard to describe the required definition.
