Subject: | Head and Neck Cancer - Additional Data Items |
Type of Change: | Revision of NHS data standards |
Effective Date: | Immediate |
Reason for Change: | Integration of the National Cancer Data Set Head and Neck Specific additional data items into the NHS Data Dictionary |
The National Cancer Data Set Project, run by the NHS Information Authority, has produced a set of data items relating to the diagnosis and management of cancer.
The purpose of the National Cancer Minimum Data Set is to advise organisations within the National Health Service on a transferable set of data. These data will meet the needs of clinical audit, assist in the generation of National Performance Indicators and will allow outcome assessment.
More information about the project and the Data Set can be found at:
This DSCN defines NHS data standards to support additional data items specific to head and neck cancer. The National Codes for Tobacco Chewing History have been aligned with those for Smoking Status.
