Information Standards

 

DCB1520 Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Data Set, Version 2.0

 

The current release of DCB1520 Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Data Set was published on 5 September 2019.

Since then the need for minor corrections to the data set has been identified and a corrigendum has been published to provide details. 

 

The corrections relate to:

  • A new data item INTEGRATED IMPROVING ACCESS TO PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIES LONG TERM CONDITION SERVICE INDICATOR in the IDS201CareContact table
  • A change to the group-level notes for IDS004 Employment Status
  • A change to the UID for Ex-British Armed Forces Indicator in the IDS001 Master Patient Index table
  • A correction to the format for the data item DURATION OF INTERNET ENABLED THERAPY IMPROVING ACCESS TO PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIES CARE PROFESSIONAL CLINICAL TIME 

 

The corrigendum, corrected Change Specification, corrected Data Set Specification and supporting NHS Data Model and Dictionary Change Requests are published on our IAPT web page, alongside those standard documents which have not changed.

 

You should contact the developers if you have any questions about this corrigendum, or other IAPT issues, by emailing: enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk

Implementation of Sexual Orientation and Inclusive Gender Identity Monitoring survey

 

NHS England is conducting a survey to ascertain the extent to which services are currently collecting Sexual Orientation Monitoring data for patients. The Sexual Orientation Monitoring information standard (DCB2094 Amd 51/2015) was published in 2017 and provides the categories for recording sexual orientation, but does not mandate collection.

 

Responses to this survey will help the NHS England and NHS Improvement LGBT Health Team to target wider take-up of Sexual Orientation Monitoring; the team is interested in hearing from areas which have successfully implemented the standard, as well as those that have not, and the reasons why.

 

Closing date: 27 November 2019
