COMMISSIONING DATA SET (CDS) (retired)
ADMITTED PATIENT CARE CDS TYPE - DELIVERY EPISODE
The Admitted Patient Care Delivery Episode Commissioning Data Set Type carries the data for a finished or unfinished General Consultant/ Midwife/ Nurse Delivery Episode. A Delivery Episode record is required when there has been a delivery resulting in a registrable birth. This may take place in either NHS hospitals or in non-NHS hospitals funded by the NHS. The information is taken from the birth notification for each baby born and added to the mother's record.

The column headed Opt (Optionality) shows whether the Data element is Mandatory (M) or Optional (O) in this specific CDS.

The column headed U/A (Unfinished Episode / Annual Census) indicates whether the Data element is required to be recorded on an unfinished Consultant/ Midwife/ Nurse Delivery Episode record and on an End of Year Census record. The census requires that an Unfinished Delivery Episode record for all unfinished Delivery Episodes at midnight on 31 March is sent. An R in the U/A column indicates that it is required to be present, a blank indicates that it is not required to be present.

The column headed HES indicates whether the data element is extracted from the NWCS database for Hospital Episode Statistics. A filled circle in the column indicates that it is extracted if present, a blank indicates that it is not extracted. Note that Hospital Episode Statistics records contain derived items. The table below indicates the base data from which these items are derived, and the CDS/HES cross reference table will show the derivation.
