ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY)

ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY)  is the same as attribute ORGANISATION CODE.

ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY) is the ORGANISATION CODE  derived from the PATIENT's POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS.

This is where the PATIENT resides within the boundary of a:

• Sub Integrated Care Board Location
• Care Trust
• Local Health Board (Wales)
• Scottish Health Board
• Northern Ireland Local Commissioning Group

  :  Guidance on the use of Northern Ireland codes can be found in  Data Set Change Notice 19/2009

• Primary Healthcare Directorate (Isle of Man)
• Local Authority

  .

ORGANISATION CODES  can be downloaded from Technology Reference Update Distribution (TRUD). For further information, see Organisation Data Service.

For PATIENTS  who are Overseas Visitors: Organisation Data Service Default Code X98 'Primary Care Organisation Not Applicable ( Overseas Visitors )' should be reported. Note: A review of Organisation Data Service Default Codes  is planned to be carried out and this default code will be updated as part of that.

For the purposes of sending Commissioning Data Set messages to the Secondary Uses Service (regardless of how local systems hold the data), it is essential at present to continue using a 3 character field, using the first 3 characters of the  ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY)  and following the same update rules relating to Prime Recipient as are currently in place. This is necessary, primarily to preserve the integrity of the current Commissioning Data Set message and the  CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY which is derived from the  ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY).

ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY)  will be replaced with ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY), which is the most recent approved national information standard to describe the required definition.
