Background:

The NHS Data Model and Dictionary Service are currently working with the Department of Health and Information Centre for Health and Social Care to develop a number of Data Sets.

During the business analysis stage, it has been identified that these Data Sets cover a number of common areas which are either not currently in the NHS Data Model and Dictionary or amendments are required to make the current information suitable for use in these Data Sets.

This Data Set Change Notice adds common data items and associated data modelling that has been identified since the production of data items relating to: Disability, Questionnaires and Person Score, Other Person Observation, Communication, Education, Employment, Activity Offer, Refugee / Asylum Seeker, Accommodation and Sexual Orientation. The changes are detailed in the "Summary of changes" below.

These changes do not need to be implemented in end-user systems until the Data Set Change Notices for the specific data sets come into effect. Other specific items will be added to the Data Sets during development.
