Out-Patient Stocks Data Set Overview
This replaces the Korner Returns QM08 Not Seens.
The Department of Health and Strategic Health Authorities require summary details from care providers of consultant out-patient activity flows. 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 Out-Patient Stocks Data Set is provider or commissioner based depending upon the ORGANISATION submitting the data set. Providers are care ORGANISATIONS providing consultant out-patient care and treatment for NHS PATIENTS. Commissioners are the ORGANISATIONS commissioning out-patient care for NHS PATIENTS. For commissioner based data sets, the provider is required to supply data to the commissioner.
The Out-Patient Stocks Data Set contains the not yet seen consultant out-patient stocks as at the end of the specified REPORTING PERIOD.
