COMMUNITY SURVIVAL TIMES LIST (MENTAL HEALTH) is optional in the Mental Health Minimum Data Set collection record. It should only be present if:
| a. | one or more periods of Hospital Provider Spell within the Adult Mental Health Care Spell has occurred within the REPORTING PERIOD | |
| and | ||
| b. | where one or more Hospital Provider Spell has occurred within the Adult Mental Health Care Spell, containing at least one Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) where the main TREATMENT FUNCTION of the CONSULTANT is for an adult or mental illness MAIN SPECIALTY. The adult or mental illness MAIN SPECIALTIES being 700, 710,712, 713 and 715. | |
For the list, the length in days between each Hospital Provider Spell is calculated from the DISCHARGE DATE (HOSPITAL PROVIDER SPELL) of one spell and either the START DATE of the next Hospital Provider Spell which follows it, if one is recorded, or the end of the REPORTING PERIOD if not.
Where there is no Hospital Provider Spell in being at the REPORTING PERIOD START DATE then use the last DISCHARGE DATE (HOSPITAL PROVIDER SPELL) in the Adult Mental Health Care Spell before the REPORTING PERIOD START DATE if any exists. Otherwise no entry in the list should be made in respect of days before the first Hospital Provider Spell.
Where there is no Hospital Provider Spell in being at the REPORTING PERIOD END DATE the REPORTING PERIOD END DATE should be used.
A suffix is attached to each calculated period length, the suffixes are:
| C - | where the PATIENT has still not been readmitted to hospital by the end of the REPORTING PERIOD but the Adult Mental Health Care Spell is continuing |
| E - | where the PATIENT has still not been readmitted to hospital by the end of the REPORTING PERIOD but the Adult Mental Health Care Spell has finished before the end of the REPORTING PERIOD |
| P - | where the discharge date initiating the survival times is within the Adult Mental Health Care Spell but before the start of the REPORTING PERIOD |
| blank | where an admission terminates the survival period within the Adult Mental Health Care Spell and within the REPORTING PERIOD |
The calculated length of days (plus their suffix) are recorded within the COMMUNITY SURVIVAL TIMES LIST (MENTAL HEALTH) in ascending Discharge Date of the previous Hospital Provider Spell sequence.
Each of the above Hospital Provider Spell, Adult Mental Health Care Spell and Consultant Episode (Hospital Provider) is an ACTIVITY GROUP where the ACTIVITY GROUP TYPE identifies the specific spell, episode or stay type.
