SMR00 Trickle Feed
The Data Recording Advisory Service (DRAS) have
begun work to support ISD’s Data modernisation plans,
specifically the work to modernise Scottish Morbidity Records led
by Elaine Strange and Clare Harper.
A ‘proof of concept’ project was
initiated following the Health & Social Care Information
Intelligence strategy stakeholder consultation with NHS Ayrshire
& Arran. The project aims to demonstrate potential
benefits of incremental feeding of SMR data. i.e. national
information available quicker, providing more timely output.
DRAS have created a Compound Healthcare Headings
(CHH) SMR Trickle bundle to support the initial proposal.
The proposal sets out to take the current SMR00
record and consider how interim SMR data extraction(s) can be taken
from PAS/PMS systems.
The SMR Trickle bundle identifies the full SMR
record along with the data elements required to be extracted
at each subsequent trickle stage (aligning to the data definition/
standard/ rules associated with each data element. It is
envisaged that there will be two ‘packets’ of SMR00
data sent from NHS Ayrshire & Arran to ISD on a daily basis.
The first packet contains patient referral information, the second
contains patient attendance detail. Provisional diagnosis
and/or proposed procedure may be recorded in packet one and actual
diagnosis and procedure carried out will be recorded in packet
two.
