Admitted Patient Flows Data Set Overview

This replaces Korner Returns KH06 and KH07.

The Department of Health and Strategic Health Authorities require summary details from care providers of admitted patient admission 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 Admitted Patient Flows Data Set is provider or commissioner based depending upon the ORGANISATION submitting the data set. Providers are care ORGANISATIONS providing admitted patient care and treatment for NHS PATIENTS. Commissioners are the ORGANISATIONS commissioning admitted patient care for NHS PATIENTS

The Admitted Patient Flows Data Set contains the admission ACTIVITY for the specified REPORTING PERIOD.
