Reference: Change Request 425
Version No: 1.6
Subject: e-GIF Additional Date and Time Format Changes Element Details
Type of Change: Changes to NHS Data Dictionary
Effective Date: 1 April 2004
Reason for Change: To fully implement the e-GIF standards mandated in DSCNs 09/2004 and 10/2004 into the NHS Data Dictionary, specifically in relation to Date and Time elements.

Background:

DSCN 09/2004 (e-GIF Release Standards) and DSCN 10/2004 (e-GIF Date and Time Formats) mandate the adoption of e-GIF standards and hence changes to the NHS Data Dictionary. This paper constitutes the work to support these DSCNs fully in the NHS Data Dictionary, by implementing the detailed Date and Time changes at the data element level.

This is the e-GIF standard that should be used for all new and developing systems and for XML messages. For existing CDS EDIFACT messages however, the existing NHS Data Dictionary standards should continue to be used.

For existing CDS EDIFACT messages however, the standard format n8 - ccyymmdd should continue to be used for all DATES, except for DETAINED AND (OR) LONG TERM PSYCHIATRIC CENSUS DATE which has a format n4 - ccyy.

Other messages currently being exchanged eg data sets, using DATE standards developed prior to e-GIF, should be migrated as soon as practicably possible. However, this migration should be instructed via changes to data set implementation guidance. Individual users must remain compliant with the standard format n8 - ccyymmdd currently used, except for SYMPTOMS FIRST NOTED DATE which has a format ccyymm, until data set implementation guidance instructs otherwise.

Concatenated date time elements are in use and are derived from the e-GIF standards for DATE and TIME, these should continue to be used unless further notified.

The date detention commenced is the date on which the first order was made in this period of detention, even though the section of the Act under which the PATIENT is detained may have changed, the PATIENT may have been transferred to another provider or the PATIENT was detained under the Act after admission to the current provider. All changes in LEGAL STATUS CLASSIFICATION CODE should be recorded, and the continuous period of detention obtained by comparing the START DATE and START DATES for the historical LEGAL STATUS records. (Act refers to the 1983 Mental Health Act).

Where the detention order is held by a hospital other than that where the PATIENT is present at the date of the census, the latter should ensure the information relating to this detention order is obtained from the former hospital. Only the hospital where the PATIENT is treated should submit the data.

This is the e-GIF standard that should be used for all new and developing systems and for XML messages. For existing CDS EDIFACT messages however, the existing NHS Data Dictionary standards should continue to be used.

For existing CDS EDIFACT messages however, the standard format n4 should continue to be used for all TIMES.

Other messages currently being exchanged eg data sets, using TIME standards developed prior to e-GIF, should be migrated as soon as practicably possible. However, this migration should be instructed via changes to data set implementation guidance. Individual users must remain compliant with the standard format n4 currently used, except for THEATRE CASE START TIME which has a format hh:mm, until data set implementation guidance instructs otherwise.

Concatenated date time elements are in use and are derived from the e-GIF standards for DATE and TIME, these should continue to be used unless further notified.
