Admitted Patient Stocks Data Set Overview
This replaces the Korner Return KH07.
The Department of Health and Strategic Health Authorities require summary details from care providers of admitted patient day case and ordinary admission stocks. This central information requirement provides performance management measures of waiting times and helps to identify those ORGANISATIONS failing to meet the standards of the NHS Plan.
The Admitted Patient Stocks Data Set is provider or commissioner based depending upon the Organisation submitting the data set. Providers are care ORGANISATIONS providing in-patient care and treatment for NHS PATIENTS. Commissioners are the ORGANISATIONS commissioning in-patient care for NHS PATIENTS
Data collection
The NHS report data sets to the Department of Health monthly and quarterly via Unify2, an online data collection system. Trusts and Primary Care Trusts can either enter data directly onto Unify2, or upload from spreadsheets provided to ease data input.
These returns flow through Strategic Health Authorities, and require their sign off before they are accessed by the Department of Health.
Data providers are required to submit data by the 15th working day following the month end, with publication being on the Friday following the 20th working day after month end.
The Admitted Patient Stocks Data Set contains the in-patient waiting to be admitted stocks as at the end of the specified REPORTING PERIOD.
