Introduction
The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set (IAPT) has been developed to support the Adult Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme through a regular national return of data. This includes for example: supporting commissioning, service improvement and service design.
The Adult Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme is an NHS programme in England, which started in 2008, that has transformed treatment of anxiety disorders and depression through the delivery of interventions approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set is a PATIENT level, output based, secondary uses data set which aims to deliver robust, comprehensive, nationally consistent and comparable information for PATIENTS accessing NHS-funded Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Services located in England.
As a secondary uses data set, the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set re-uses clinical and operational data for purposes other than direct PATIENT care. It defines the data items, definitions and associated value sets to be extracted or derived from local information systems. These national definitions allow Health Care Providers to extract data from their local systems in a consistent manner, which supports national and local reporting to be undertaken.
The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set includes information on:
-
PATIENT
Demographics: including geographical, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and DISABILITY
-
Care Pathways: referral details, Mental Health Care Cluster details and Presenting Complaints information
-
CARE CONTACTS
and CARE ACTIVITIES: SESSION details and any clinical, economic and social outcomes recorded relating to the interventions and coded scored assessments provided
