Version No: | 1.0 |
Subject: | NHS Data Model and Dictionary Modelling Changes - Location Type |
Effective Date: | Immediate |
Reason for Change: | Change to Data Standards |
Publication Date: | 24 February 2011 |
Background:
The NHS Data Model and Dictionary Service are currently working with the Department of Health and The NHS 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 Change Request adds the common data items and associated data modelling changes for "Activity Location Type" into the NHS Data Model and Dictionary in preparation for these Data Sets. The changes are detailed in the "Summary of changes" below.
The primary purpose is to introduce a new Activity Location Type Code Attribute and Data Element into the NHS Data Model and Dictionary to support the new data sets currently under development. This will enable the new data sets to use the generic data items and codes.
These changes do not need to be implemented in end-user systems until the Information Standards Notices for the specific data sets come into effect. Other specific items will be added to the Data Sets during development.
Summary of changes:
Date: | 24 February 2011 |
Sponsor: | Nicholas Oughtibridge, Acting Director - Data Standards and Products, Technology Office, Department of Health Informatics Directorate |

Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description
Face To Face Contact Community Care is a CARE CONTACT.
A contact which is made by one or more nurses or community support workers (nursing) with a PATIENT or his/her proxy during a Community Episode. The contact occurs when a PATIENT or their proxy attends a clinic or when the nurse or community support worker (nursing) makes a domiciliary visit to see the PATIENT.
A proxy contact is a single occasion involving contact between a proxy and one or more members of a community nurse staff group within a Nursing In The Community Programme. Contacts with proxies only count if the contact is in lieu of the contact with the PATIENT, and the proxy is able more effectively than the PATIENT to ensure that the specified advice/treatment devised for the PATIENT is followed. This is most likely to be the case where the PATIENT is unable to communicate effectively say for an infant, or for a PERSON who is mentally ill or has learning disabilities.
One or more nurses or community support workers (nursing) in the same or different Nursing In The Community Programmes may be in contact with a PATIENT at the same time.
Contacts should be recorded as follows:
a. | If one or more NURSES or community support workers (nursing) from the same programme are in contact with one PATIENT at the same time, this should be recorded as one face-to-face contact |
b. | If one or more NURSES or community support workers (nursing) from different programmes are in contact with one PATIENT at the same time, this should be recorded as one contact for each programme involved |
c. | For contacts at a Day Care Facility, where repeated contacts may occur during the course of a day, this should be recorded as one contact for each programme involved |
d. | If two NURSES of different disciplines but both classed in the community nurse staff group other community nurses, such as stomatherapist and a continuing care nurse, are in contact with one PATIENT at the same time, this should be recorded as two face-to-face contacts, one for each discipline |
Group activity, where, for example, general advice is given to several PATIENTS at the same time should not be recorded as Nurse or Midwife Contacts.
A Face To Face Contact Community Care may involve activities attributable to a structured programme, such as the following:
a. | Screening Test |
b. | Group Session |
c. | Health Promotion Other Activity |
d. | EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT |
e. | Test Of Immunity |
f. | Immunisation Dose Given |
g. | Face To Face Contact Surveillance |
For such activities they must be recorded as part of the respective structured programmes as well as attributed to the Nursing In The Community Programmes.
If the PATIENT is currently subject to a Mental Health Care Spell and the contact NURSE is also their allocated care programme approach care coordinator then a Face To Face Contact CPA Care Coordinator should also be recorded.
For domiciliary visits, an indication of whether the Face To Face Contact Community Care is the first occasion on which a PATIENT is seen should be recorded as an initial contact. A LOCATION TYPE should also be recorded. A LOCATION type should also be recorded.
Information recorded for a Face To Face Contact Community Care includes:

Face To Face Contact CPA Care Coordinator is a CARE CONTACT.
A face to face contact between a PATIENT subject to a Care Programme Approach Episode, and their currently allocated care programme approach care coordinator
In cases where contact arises due to:
- or a Ward Attendance
- or a Day Care Attendance
- or a face to face Acute Home-Based Contact
Each contact must have a Care Programme Approach Care Co-ordinator Allocation.

Face To Face Contact Social Worker is a CARE CONTACT.
A face to face contact between a PATIENT subject to a Mental Health Care Spell and a Local Authority Social Services Social Worker. The Social Worker may be a Mental Health Care Team Member. When the contact involves the presence of more than one Social Worker at the same time, then it is still considered as a single occurrence of a face to face contact.
In the case of contact arising due to a Social Services Statutory Assessment then both the Face To Face Contact Social Worker and the Social Services Statutory Assessment will be recorded.
When the Social Worker is also the allocated care programme approach care coordinator for the PATIENT then a Face To Face Contact CPA Care Coordinator should also be recorded.
Information recorded for a Face To Face Contact Social Worker includes:

Information recorded for a Face To Face Contact Surveillance includes:
Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description
The Department of Health requires summary details from Primary Care Trusts to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Immunisation Programme.
The Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Programme for England commenced in September 2008, the first TARGET POPULATION being for females born between 1st September 1995 and 31st August 1996. This is the first HEALTH PROGRAMME STAGE for a routine annual Immunisation Programme for all 12-13 year old females.
Details of the routine and catch-up collections for the Human Papillomavirus Immunisation Programme are available at: Department of Health Key Vaccine Information
It is recommended for the vaccine delivery to be in Schools/Colleges but Primary Care Trusts are responsible for implementing the programme according to their local needs.
Each Primary Care Trust will collect and return data on the females in a particular TARGET POPULATION. Primary Care Trusts are recommended to run a Schools-based programme, but some may choose not to. The ANNUAL TARGET DENOMINATOR (HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS VACCINE) will either be Schools based or non-Schools based.
The Human Papillomavirus vaccine requires 3 separate doses to complete a full course. It is recommended that this full course is given within a 6 month period, but it may be given in a period of up to 12 months. However, to allow for those that missed one or more doses in their TARGET POPULATION year, summary data will be collected every year for each TARGET POPULATION until those PERSONS reach 18 years old.
Although data is collected monthly in the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Monthly Minimum Data Set, it is recognised that Primary Care Trusts may not be aware of the number of other females they are responsible for at the start of the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Monthly Minimum Data Set campaign year. However by the end of the School Year, Primary Care Trusts will have had opportunity to complete vaccinations for any others they are responsible for and these will be included in the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Annual Minimum Data Set together with the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Monthly Minimum Data Sets.
The HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Annual Minimum Data Set requires information on the number of doses administered as well as the administration LOCATION TYPES.The HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Annual Minimum Data Set requires information on the number of doses administered as well as the administration LOCATION TYPE CODES.
Collection and Submission of the HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Annual Minimum Data Set
- The HPV Immunisation Programme Vaccine Monitoring Annual Minimum Data Set is the School Year end annual return from Primary Care Trusts.
- The return must be submitted within 20 working days after the previous School Year end of 31st August.
- The data is submitted via a web form on the Health Protection Informatics website
- Primary Care Trust, HEALTH PROGRAMME STAGE NUMBER (HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS VACCINE), REPORTING PERIOD and ANNUAL TARGET DENOMINATOR (HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS VACCINE)

Professional Advice And Support Contact is a CARE CONTACT.
A contact by one or more members of a PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AND SUPPORT STAFF GROUP with a PATIENT, and/or the PATIENT's proxy e.g. PATIENT looking after elderly relative, at a specific LOCATION TYPE and occurring as a result of a Professional Advice And Support Programme.A contact by one or more members of a PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AND SUPPORT STAFF GROUP with a PATIENT, and/or the PATIENT's proxy e.g. PATIENT looking after elderly relative, at a specific type of LOCATION and occurring as a result of a Professional Advice And Support Programme.
A proxy contact is a single occasion involving contact between a proxy, and one or more members of a PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AND SUPPORT STAFF GROUP within a Professional Advice And Support Programme. Contacts with proxies only count if the contact is in lieu of the contact with the PERSON, and the proxy is able more effectively than the PERSON to ensure that specific professional advice is followed. This is most likely to be the case where the PERSON is unable to communicate effectively say for an infant, or for a PERSON who is mentally ill or has learning disabilities.
Where both the proxy and the PERSON are present at the contact, only one face-to-face contact should be recorded.
Contacts by student health visitors with clients in the absence of a registered Specialist Community Public Health Nurse - Health Visitor should be included.
Generally a contact will be pre-arranged but, in exceptional circumstances, an un-planned meeting may result in a substantial amount of advice or support being given and this should then be recorded.
If a contact made by a PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AND SUPPORT STAFF GROUP includes an ACTIVITY which is part of one of the Structured Programmes, it should not be counted as part of a Professional Advice And Support Programme.
Change to Supporting Information: Changed Description
Professional Staff Group Contact is a CARE CONTACT.
A single occasion involving contact between a PATIENT or his/her proxy and one or more members of a professional staff group discipline from a Professional Staff Group Department, including paid support staff working for a professional staff group discipline.
A Professional Staff Group Contact may follow from an Out-Patient Appointment Non-Consultant, in this event the time seen should be recorded.
A proxy contact is a single occasion involving contact between a client/PATIENT or his/her proxy, and one or more members of a professional staff group discipline or relevant staff group for community service. Contacts with proxies count as face-to-face contacts only if the contact is in lieu of the contact with the client, and the proxy is able more effectively than the client to ensure that specific professional advice devised for the client is followed. This is most likely to be the case where the client is unable to communicate effectively say for an infant, or for a PERSON who is mentally ill or learning disabilities.For Professional Staff Group Services, face to face contacts comprise both:
a. | Attendances lasting from the arrival to the departure of the PATIENT |
b. | Visits lasting from the arrival to the departure of professional staff group staff |
One or more members of the professional staff group discipline may be in contact with one or more PATIENTS at the same time and PATIENTS may be seen in association with staff from other disciplines. Contacts should be recorded as follows:
a. | If one or more staff of the same discipline are in contact with one PATIENT at the same time, this should be recorded as one face to face contact |
b. | If staff see a PATIENT with staff of other disciplines, this should be recorded as one face to face contact for each discipline involved |
c. | If one or more staff of one discipline are in contact with a group of PATIENTS at the same time, each PATIENT should be recorded as one face to face contact |
d. | If staff from different disciplines are in contact with a group of PATIENTS at the same time, each PATIENT should be recorded as one face to face contact for each discipline involved |
For physiotherapy, it may not be practical to collect data about all face-to-face contacts; however as a minimum, initial contacts and first contacts in financial year should be recorded.
For occupational therapy, the contact duration should be recorded in half-hour units.
If the PATIENT is currently subject to a Mental Health Care Spell and the member of the professional staff group discipline in contact is also their allocated care programme approach care coordinator then a Face To Face Contact CPA Care Coordinator should also be recorded.
Note: When face-to-face contacts are used for attributing professional staff group costs to MAIN SPECIALTIES, it will be necessary to distinguish between those contacts by PATIENTS using a Hospital Bed, attenders at Consultant Clinics and attenders at Day Care Facilities.
Information recorded for a Professional Staff Group Contact includes:
First Contact In Financial Year
Initial Contact
PATIENT FACILITY GROUP
Time Seen O (if patient attends as a result of a clinic appointment)
