Notes:
END DATE (MENTAL HEALTH CARE SPELL) is the same as attribute ACTIVITY DATE of ACTIVITY DATE TIME where ACTIVITY DATE TIME TYPE is National Code 11 'End Date'. It is an optional data element in the Mental Health Minimum Data Set collection record and should only be present if the Mental Health Care Spell has ended.

The Mental Health Care Spell ends when all associated episodes, attendances or days are explicitly closed or ended by default where a PATIENT has received in-patient care terminated other than by transfer or death or had a current period of Mental Health Absence Without Leave (but still liable to detention), within the preceding 3 months.

For Mental Health Minimum Data Set purposes where the Health Care Provider cannot initiate and maintain Mental Health Care Spell it is the function of the assembler process itself to determine whether the assembled Mental Health Care Spell has ended or not, and provide the appropriate date to be used for the END DATE (MENTAL HEALTH CARE SPELL).

Mental Health Care Spell is an ACTIVITY GROUP where ACTIVITY GROUP TYPE is National Code 23 'Mental Health Care Spell'.

Mental Health Absence Without Leave is a LEAVE where LEAVE TYPE is National Code 01 'Absence Without Leave'.
