Description
An NHS Allied Health Professional Service (Referral To Treatment Measurement) is a SERVICE.
An NHS Allied Health Professional Service (Referral To Treatment Measurement) is a SERVICE included in the requirement to measure the time between referral of a PATIENT to an ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL and First Definitive Treatment.
This is treatment of a PATIENT by one of the following types of ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL:
-
Art Therapists, Music Therapists and Dramatherapists (Arts Therapists)
- Dietitians
- Occupational Therapists
- Orthoptists
- Physiotherapists
-
Prosthetists
and Orthotists
-
Radiographers
(Diagnostic and Therapeutic)
- Speech and Language Therapists
Where the ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL works in a Community Health Service, the Department of Health and Social Care requires their Allied Health Professional Referral To Treatment Measurement activity to be reported in the Community Services Data Set.
Where the ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY took place at an Out-Patient Clinic, the Allied Health Professional Referral To Treatment Measurement activity must be reported in the CDS V6-2 Type 020 - Outpatient Commissioning Data Set / CDS V6-3 Type 020 - Outpatient Commissioning Data Set.
In addition, where an ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL sees a PATIENT on a WARD but the ACTIVITY is not related to the Hospital Provider Spell the PATIENT is being treated under, this should be regarded as replacing a Care Professional Out-Patient Attendance under the management of the ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, and a CDS V6-2 Type 020 - Outpatient Commissioning Data Set/ CDS V6-3 Type 020 - Outpatient Commissioning Data Set record should be recorded and submitted to the Secondary Uses Service. The ACTIVITY LOCATION TYPE CODE in the CDS V6-2 Type 020 - Outpatient Commissioning Data Set/ CDS V6-3 Type 020 - Outpatient Commissioning Data Set may be submitted to allow identification of this ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY.
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 a Care Professional Out-Patient Attendance should be recorded, with the ACTIVITY LOCATION TYPE CODE National Code ' WARD ', and the relevant Referral To Treatment data items also completed.
