REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD
The part of a PATIENT PATHWAY covered by Measured Referral to Treatment Period.
Description
A subtype of ACTIVITY GROUP.
The part of a PATIENT PATHWAY covered by Measured Referral to Treatment Period.
A sub-set of REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIODS are used to measure the 18 weeks Referral To Treatment Period Included In Referral To Treatment Consultant-Led Waiting Times Measurement.
It is the period from referral to the start of First Definitive Treatment. For REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIODS measured under Allied Health Professional Referral To Treatment Measurement, there are no tolerances, but EARLIEST REASONABLE OFFER DATE and EARLIEST CLINICALLY APPROPRIATE DATE may be used locally to understand the impact of PATIENT chosen or clinically appropriate delays.
If the PATIENT is referred from one Health Care Provider to another during the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD, the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD continues with the original REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE and the related PATIENT PATHWAY IDENTIFIER being part of the onward referral information. The REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD continues until there is a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD END DATE.
For PATIENTS who have not attended an APPOINTMENT or admission:
-
Did not attend the first APPOINTMENT during the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD, where the PRIORITY TYPE of the SERVICE REQUEST was National Code 'Routine' or National Code 'Urgent'. This will complete the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD (REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS code 33 for the scheduled ACTIVITY which the PATIENT did not attend) and a new REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD will commence at the point when the PATIENT rebooks if this occurs (REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS code 10 on the ACTIVITY).
-
Did not attend the first APPOINTMENT during the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD, where the PRIORITY TYPE of the SERVICE REQUEST was National Code 'Two Week Wait'. The REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD will continue unless a clinical decision is made to discharge the PATIENT to primary care.
-
Did not attend a follow-up or out-patient/diagnostic appointment. The REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD will continue unless a clinical decision is made to discharge the PATIENT to primary care. The potential effect of this is factored into the tolerances set for Referral To Treatment Consultant Led Waiting Times. See also Discharge After Patient Did Not Attend.
-
Did not attend an admission. The REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD will continue unless a clinical decision is made to discharge the PATIENT to primary care. See Discharge After Patient Did Not Attend.
