The Integrated Sexual Health Tariff Data Set allows providers to deliver their clinical data to the Grouper service.
The table below specifics the acceptable criteria for each field. Where ever possible, existing GUMCAD and SRHAD fields have been used.
Note about implementation of support for GUMCADv3
Prerequisites/Assumptions
It assumed that data collection systems within a clinic use common Patient IDs across all reports (ie a patient will appear in a GUMCAD and SRHAD report with the same Patient ID code.
It is assumed that Patient IDs are not 'Patient Identifiable' by a third party (without access to a secured decode list).
It is required that GUMCAD and SRHAD reports are correctly formed and delivered in csv, xlsx or xls format
It is required that Excel baseline date used is 1900 and not 1904.
Submission Scope
Data should be submitted for each calendar month within six weeks of the month's end (later submissions are allowed for shadow and historical data collection). Submissions are restricted to a particular provider organisation. Each submission month can receive multiple files.
Data Fields
Providers should also ensure they include the appropriate activity data fields for SRHAD or GUMCAD when they upload their data to the Integrated Tariff Grouper.
GUMCAD: Some providers will have their GUMCAD data formated with space for twelve activity codes (SHHAPT fields) per row, others will have only one activity code per row, in which case the data needs to be transposed during the Grouper upload process.
Local Codes
There are a number of standard Local Codes offered to all Tariff Configurations (Local Configurations may adopt further locally agree codes):
- SHHAPT = TS "Microscopy (gonorrhoea or syphilis), Microscopy was used indicating a symptomatic test, to be used with T2, T3 or T4."
- SHHAPT = TT "3 Site Testing (chlamydia and gonorrhoea, with T1, T2, T3 or T4)."
- SHHAPT = DT "Dual Site Test for T2, T3 or T4."
- SHHAPT = AT "Assisted Self-Sample for STI tests. This code is to be used where an adequate sample, using an e-Services STI test kit, has been dispatched to pathology and a member of staff has directly (not remotely) supported the patient in taking the sample. This code is only to be used in connection with STI tests delivered through online e-Services."
- SHHAPT = T20 "Shigella Test"
Data Preparation
There is no need to consolidate data into a single file for a submission. Multiple files can be uploaded to cover the month of submission, for example for different clinics or covering GUMCAD and SRHAD data. There is no need to collate GUMCAD and SRHAD data into one file, the Grouper will automatically collate patient episode/visits.
Data should be saved in an MS Excel file with an .xsl or xlsx extension or a comma separated variable format with a .csv file name extension is acceptable (but not recommended). File names should only contain one period ('.') and the file should contain one worksheet of data, the worksheet name must not contain punctuation.
Files should contain data in the first worksheet only, the column headings should be in row one and start at cell A1 and run contiguously. Data should start in row 2 and each record should be in the contiguous row to the previous record ie no row and no column gaps in cluding gaps in hidden columns.
Once data has been prepared it should be uploaded to the secure Grouper service, see How to Upload.
