CR6081 October 2006Introduction of Commissioning Data Set (Version 5) and its associated XML Schema into the NHS Data Dictionary.DSCN 24/2004 provided notification to providers and suppliers of the introduction of XML messages for Commissioning Data Set (CDS) data flows. It advised the replacement of CDS-EDIFACT to submit and receive CDS data via the NHS-wide Clearing Service (NWCS), and use of an XML message to transfer CDS data. DSCN 13/2005, (November 2005) provides the NHS data Standards specifications necessary to support the collection of the Critical Care Data Minimum Set (CCMDS). This DSCN updates the CDS Specification contained in the NHS Data Dictionary. When fully implemented, the currently collected Augmented Care Period (ACP) data will be discontinued and replaced with CCMDS data. This paper is a supportive specification to provide details of the associated updates to the CDS-XML Schema V-5-0 to enable the implementation of DSCNs 24/2004 and 13/2005.

The scope of the data warehouse has been increased to include the Out-Patient Attendance and Accident and Emergency Attendance Commissioning Data Set Types. This paper updates the supporting information in the NHS Data Dictionary about the uses of NWCS data.
CR4841 April 2005DSCN 32/2004 - Payment by ResultsThe Payment by Results (PbR) policy changes the way funds flow between commissioners and providers of health care services in England. Through the establishment of standard national tariffs for similar types of treatments, providers will be paid on the basis of the volume and complexity of the activity they actually deliver. Payment by Results has ministerial backing. This DSCN has been sponsored by the Head of the Payment by Results. The DSCN supports 'Implementing PbR Technical Guidance 2005/06', specifically paragraphs 3.16 to 3.18 and 6.12, which can be found on the DH website: http://www.dh.gov.uk/PublicationsAndStatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/<br>PublicationsPolicyAndGuidanceArticle/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4097993&chk=JSLwVc. For Foundation Trusts the scope of PbR includes non-elective admissions, out-patients and A&E in 2005/6. Although, for non-Foundation Trusts, these elements are outside the scope of the tariff in 2005/6, data are still required to flow to operate PbR in shadow form and so that new baselines can be established for 2006/7. Payment by Results also requires the implementation of DSCNs 26/2003 and 34/2003 Updated National Specialty List (introduction of new Treatment Function codes). The outpatient tariff is based on Treatment Function and certain Treatment Functions are also used to define the scope of the Admitted Patient Care tariff.
