ACTIVITY LOCATION TYPE CODE

ACTIVITY LOCATION TYPE CODE is the same as attribute ACTIVITY LOCATION TYPE CODE.

Use in Commissioning Data Set Version 6-2 onwards

Where Out-Patient Clinics  are held on WARDS  (such as Pre-assessment Clinics), these should be categorised as ACTIVITY LOCATION TYPE CODE  National Code E01 ' Out-Patient Clinic ' and not National Code E02 ' WARD '.  This will allow Ward Attendances  to be differentiated from Out-Patient Clinics  in the CDS V6-2 Type 020 - Outpatient Commissioning Data Set flow.

For ACTIVITY  falling under  Allied Health Professional Referral To Treatment Measurement, ACTIVITY LOCATION TYPE CODE  may be submitted to allow identification of Allied Health Professional ACTIVITY  taking place on WARDS, which is not related to the Hospital Provider Spell  for the PATIENT  being seen by the Allied Health Professional.  For example, if a Podiatrist  were asked to see a PATIENT who was currently admitted for a condition where the agreed care pathway did not include Podiatry services, then an Out-Patient Appointment Non-Consultant  should be recorded, with the ACTIVITY LOCATION TYPE CODE  of E02 ' WARD '.

For specific National Code usage in different data sets, see ACTIVITY LOCATION TYPE CODE.
