Notes:
CPA ENHANCED DAYS is an optional data item note in the Mental Health Minimum Dataset (MHMD) collection record and should only be present if one or more START DATES with CPA LEVEL National Code 2 'Enhanced, multiple needs, including housing, employment etc, which requires inter-agency coordination' has occurred during the REPORTING PERIOD.

It is the total number of CPA enhanced days within the MENTAL HEALTH CARE SPELL within the REPORTING PERIOD. Each period of CPA enhanced days is recorded by a CARE PROGRAMME APPROACH EPISODE and there may be more than one such episode during the course of a MENTAL HEALTH CARE SPELL.

There is a START DATE and END DATE for each CARE PROGRAMME APPROACH EPISODE and the calculation is based upon those CPA enhanced days which have occurred during the REPORTING PERIOD adjusted for where periods of CPA enhanced days overlap the START DATE and/or END DATE of the REPORTING PERIOD (this includes where the period of CPA enhanced days has not yet ended). Where such overlaps occur the START DATE and/or END DATE of the REPORTING PERIOD should be used instead of that of the CARE PROGRAMME APPROACH EPISODE.

CPA ENHANCED DAYS is the sum of the calculated periods of CPA enhanced days and should be recorded left justified with leading zeros.

Please note that although both CPA ENHANCED DAYS and CPA STANDARD DAYS are classed as optional data item notes at least one of them should be present within the MHMD collection record as Care Programme Approach is mandatory. A PATIENT subject to a MENTAL HEALTH CARE SPELL therefore should always have recorded CPA days with only the CPA LEVEL varying during the period of the MENTAL HEALTH CARE SPELL.
