Notes:
This is the code value list of OPCS-4 codes used to:
- monitor specific targets (0001 and 0002), i.e. the "Patients waiting longer than three months (13 weeks) for revascularisation" target and
- monitor waiting times (0003 and 0004) for other cardiovascular related procedures that are not specifically included in the target above.
The groupings are based upon specified OPCS-4 codes as recorded by the CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION CODE of the CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION which is an OPERATIVE PROCEDURE for the PLANNED ACTIVITY of an ELECTIVE ADMISSION LIST ENTRY for a PATIENT being admitted electively.
When the OPCS-4 code of the OPERATIVE PROCEDURE is within the range of the specified ADMISSION INTENDED PROCEDURE for the sub group within the data set, the PATIENT should be included in the count providing all the other criteria of the count are also met.
An Intended Patient Procedure is a PLANNED ACTIVITY where PLANNED ACTIVITY TYPE is National Code 04 'Intended Patient Procedure'.
