This is usually a medical consultant but may be another healthcare professional, for example a midwife, GP, nurse or Allied Healthcare Professional.\n\nPoints to Note\n\nA separate SMR record is submitted when a patient changes Specialty, Significant Facility or Consultant/Health Care Professional Responsible for Care on medical grounds.\nEach hospital will have a list of Consultant/Healthcare Professional Responsible for Care PIN numbers appropriate to the hospital concerned. Where GPs have responsibility for patients a list of GMC numbers of the GPs concerned must be available.\nA Senior Registrar/Registrar/Specialist/Associate Specialists code number must not be used in lieu of the Consultant Code number where the clinical responsibility of care is retained by the Consultant. This may apply where patients only consult with non-consultant grade medical staff and do not see the consultant, for example SAS clinicians. For additional information please refer to this flow chart.\nA nurse/AHPs PIN number must not be used in lieu of the Consultant where the clinical responsibility of the care is retained by the consultant. Where nurses and other AHPs run clinics concurrently or separately, but the responsibility for those clinics rests with the consultant, then the activity must not be recorded on SMR00 for the nurse/AHP. This activity must only be recorded under ISD(S)1 Card Class 7 for AHPs or Card Class 9 for nurses. For additional information please refer to this flow chart.\n\nFurther clarification on points 3&4\n\nA SMR should be attributed to the person who is clinically responsible for care (not just for an outpatient appointment).\nWhere a HCP has determined/prescribed a course of treatment for a patient but has someone else deliver care on their behalf then the SMR should be attributed to the original HCP who would remain clinically responsible for care.\nHowever, when a HCP refers the patient to another specialty for alternative/additional treatment or care then the SMR should be attributed to the new HCP who would then be clinically responsible for the alternative/additional care.\n\nFor example\nIf an Oncologist has prescribed a course of Chemotherapy for a patient but this is delivered by a specialist nurse then the SMR should be attributed to the Consultant. SMR for Oncologist\nIf an Orthopaedic Surgeon considers that the patient needs an orthotic then they would refer them to the Orthotic Team who would then determine best orthotic/treatment plan for the patient. SMR for Orthotics\n\nIt is important to continue recording this data item in this way to allow for comparison/trends across the years.\nA New data item will be introduced in due course to record the Staff Group who delivered Care, e.g. SAS, Specialist Nurse, AHP and this will pick up who is actually seeing the patient.\n\nThese two data items will then complement each other, but measure two types of activity.\n\nIt is the NHS Board responsibility to ensure any new HCP they appoint who meets the definition above is entered in to the National Reference files to ensure records pass validation. This can be done via the eForms process, and must include the date from which the appointment is to be regarded as effective, together with the specialty/discipline or specialties/disciplines in which the HCP may work. When a HCP retires, dies or moves elsewhere, the effective end date should also be amended on the system. Details of how the add HCPs to the reference files can be found here.\nSMR00s must not be completed:-\n- Where a Midwifery clinic is overseen by an obstetrician\n- Where a nurse is carrying out routine nursing work such as bloods, dressings etc\nFor SMR02 records this should reflect the person who was responsible for the care of the mother on original admission to the unit.\nExample 1 - If the mother was originally admitted under the care of a midwife in an Alongside Midwifery Unit (AMU) or Freestanding Midwifery Unit (FMU), then the midwife should be recorded in this section, irrespective if the mother was then transferred during her care episode.\nExample 2 - If the mother was originally admitted to an Obstetric Unit then the Consultant initially responsible for her care should be recorded here, irrespective of whether care was primarily provided by midwifery staff.\nRecording Rules\n\nIt is the Hospitals responsibility to register individuals on the National Reference Files that meet the definition of Consultant/HCP Responsible for Care as above.\n\nThe 7 digit General Medical Council (GMC) Number allocated to each doctor is used as the consultant code. The General Dental Council Number consists of D + 6 numberic.\n\nThe 8 digit personal identification number (PIN) allocated to other healthcare professionals (e.g. midwives) is used as the HCP code. In the case of a midwife the PIN consists of an 8 character alpha/numeric code, although this format may differ for other HCPs (e.g. Podiatrists).\n\nRecording GMC/GDC/PIN\nThe code number of the HCP who had clinical responsibility for the patient during the episode should be right justified in the character spaces provided.\n\nCross Checks\n\nConsultant GMC/HCP number must be present on the appropriate reference file. It is important that additions and changes are notified to ISD as soon as possible. Request Forms for updating of the Consultant/HCP reference files can be found here .\nThe GMC/HCP number must be on the reference file at clinic date (record type SMR00) or Admission Date (record type SMR01, 02 and 04).\nIf the record type is SMR02 and an 8 digit HCP code is used, Specialty/Discipline must be T2 or T21 (midwife).\nSMR Validation - HCP Responsible for Care\n\nRelated terms: Healthcare professional\n\nTags:\nprofessional  healthcare  episode  consultant  nurse  AHP  midwife  GP  GMC  SMR00  SMR01  SMR02  SMR04"

Locations include hospitals, health centres, GP surgeries, clinics, NHS board offices, nursing homes and schools. Each location has a location code (Formerly Institution code). This is a five character code which is maintained by ISD.\n\nRecording Rules\nThe Location code should be entered in the fields provided.\n\nThis field records the location where the care is provided. A separate field is available to record provider code. The data record, therefore, captures both the organisation providing the care and where it is being provided.\n\nWhere care is provided at home (i.e. a private Domiciliary address), the Location code D201N should be used. For patients living long term in residential care the Location code should be that of the residential home. A separate set of Location codes should be used for Cancer Registration purposes.\n\nFor healthcare activity occurring at locations for which a code cannot be allocated use code D299N - Location not otherwise coded. This code may be used when a patient contact occurs:\n\nin the street\non the sports field\nat Leisure Centres\nin hotels (if not the patients normal domicile - use D201N if it is the patients normal domicile)\nin railway stations etc\nAnyone wishing to start using D299N in national data returns should notify ISD using the appropriate Reference File Amendment Notification Form.\n\nPoints to Note\n\nIf any new locations arise where NHS healthcare is delivered, please ensure that the Reference Files team at ISD is informed using form LOC-NEW so that a new code may be issued as appropriate.\nFor SMR02 Home Birth Location code D201N should be used\nIn cases of babies Born Before Arrival, the Location code should be completed as though the delivery had in fact occurred in the hospital.\n\nCross Checks\n\nLocation code is used in cross-checks with Record Type, e.g. GP maternity hospital can only be recorded on SMR02 (Maternity).\nLocation code is held on a reference file which links to provider and Specialty.

However, for SMR01 a looser definition is used, to include not only accidents involving vehicles (cars, buses, motor bikes, etc.) but also pedal bicycles and horses, provided the accident takes place on the public highway.\nEmergency - Home Incident (includes accidental poisoning) (Code 33)\nThis code should be used for any accident, injury or poisoning that takes place in the patients own home or the garden or grounds of that home, provided that there was no intention (determined by medical staff) on the part of the patient to injure or kill himself. This code should also be used when a patient has been the victim of an assault in the home.\nEmergency - Work Incident (includes accidental poisoning) (Code 34)\nThis code should be used for any accident, injury or poisoning that takes place in the patients work place, provided that there was no intention (determined by medical staff) on the part of the patient to injure or kill himself. This code should also be used when a patient has been the victim of an assault in the work place.\nEmergency - Other Injury (includes accidental poisoning) (Code 35)\nThis code should be used for any accident, injury, assault or poisoning that takes place other than in the patients own home or workplace (see notes 7 & 8) provided that there was no intention (determined by medical staff) on the part of the patient to injure or kill himself. This code should also be used for incidents occurring in residential homes.\n\nExample 1\nAn accidental fall from the window of the patients home or jumping from the window to escape a fire would be given Admission Type Code 33, while jumping from the same window intending to commit suicide would be given Admission Type Code 31.\n\nExample 2\nA child drinking, for example, weed killer or bleach, thinking it was lemonade, or taking pills thinking they were sweets, would be given Admission Type Code 33. A patient taking an excessive amount of normal drug in the belief that this might be more beneficial than the stated dose would also be given Admission Type Code 33. However, a patient who takes an overdose of drugs with the intention of suicide, or even as a \"cry for help\", should be given Admission Type Code 31.\n\nExample 3\nA patient is admitted from home with cuts to both wrists. There is no indication in the case notes that the injuries were deliberately self-inflicted, i.e. that the patient intended to harm himself. The case is therefore given Admission Type Code 33.\n\nExample 4\nA patient admitted following an assault which took place in the home should be given Admission Type Code 33.\n\nPatient Non-Injury (Code 36)\nThis code is to be used for emergencies which are not accidents, injuries or poisonings, whenever they occur. Examples are myocardial infarction, acute asthma, ruptured appendix, or post-operative complications.\nOther Emergency Admission (Code 38)\nAn example of the use of this code is an emergency admission for respite care and a patient awaiting routine admission whose condition deteriorates.\nCross Checks\n\nAdmission Type is cross-checked against Management of Patient codes, e.g. Day Cases cannot be emergency admissions.\nSMR01 - Admission Type is cross-checked against Admission Reason (when present).\nAdmission Type is cross-checked against Record Type.\nAdmission Type is cross-checked against Waiting List Type.\nCodes and Values: Admission Type (Code order)\n\nEmergency Admission\n30 - Emergency Admission, no additional detail added\n31 - Patient Injury - Self Inflicted (Injury or Poisoning)\n32 - Patient Injury - Road Traffic Accident (RTA)\n33 - Patient Injury - Home Incident (including Assault or Accidental Poisoning in the home)\n34 - Patient Injury - Incident at Work (including Assault or Accidental Poisoning at work)\n35 - Patient Injury - Other Injury (inc.

In addition, use Z39.2 (routine postpartum follow-up) and Z76.3 (healthy person accompanying sick person) to indicate the reasons for delayed discharge.

Examples of disciplines are physiotherapy, nursing, pharmacology.\n\nRecording Rules\nThis field should be coded to the Specialty/Discipline of the consultant/GP/HCP who is in charge of the patient episode. If the consultant is formally recognised and contracted to work in more than one specialty then the patients problem or condition should dictate the specialty.\n\nNote that this is the ONLY rule for completing this field. The designation of the beds is not used.\n\nSpecialty/Discipline comprises four characters, the first three of which are allocated by ISD for each specialty, and is mandatory for completion. For the majority of Specialty/Discipline codes, which are two characters, the 3rd character space must be left blank if the 4th character extension is used. The 4th character is an Optional extension of the code for local special interests.\n\nThe Specialty/Discipline code should be entered in the character spaces provided and left justified.\n\nPoints to Note\n\nA separate SMR record is prepared when a patient changes Specialty, Significant Facility or Consultant on medical grounds\nGPs: Patients under the care of a GP in a GP hospital must be given the Specialty code E12 (GP other than Obstetrics) regardless of whether the patients are in a short stay or long stay facility.\nStaff Wards: The Specialty recorded is that of the consultant/GP in charge of the patient. Record Significant Facility as 11 (Other: including all Standard Specialty Wards, Clinical Facility 1K, Day Bed Unit 1J).\nYounger Physically Disabled: Record the Specialty of the consultant in charge of the patient, which will usually be geriatric medicine. Record Significant Facility as 18 (Ward for Younger Physically Disabled) or 1E (Long Stay Unit for Care of the Elderly).\nSee additional notes under Significant Facility.\nFor SMR02 records this should reflect the speciality of the person who was responsible for the care for the mother on original admission.\nExample 1- If the mother was originally admitted under the care of a midwife in an Alongside Midwifery Unit (AMU) or Freestanding Midwifery Unit (FMU), then the midwifery specialty should be recorded in this section, irrespective of whether the mother was then transferred to an Obstetric unit during labour/delivery. When a transfer has occurred Speciality should NOT be attributed to Obstetrics.\n\nExample 2 - If the mother was originally admitted under the care of a Consultant in an Obstetric Unit then the Obstetrics specialty should be recorded here.\n\nCross Checks\n\nSpecialty is checked against Location Code.\nSpecialty is checked against Consultant.\nSpecialty is checked against the Patients Age (at Date of Admission).\nSpecialty is checked against Duration of Stay calculated between Date of Admission and Date of Discharge.\nSpecialty is checked against Record Type\nSpecialty is checked against Significant Facility.\nSMR Validation - Specialty/Discipline\n\n\nRelated items:\n\nHCP Responsible for Care\nLocation Code\nSignificant Facility\nSMR Record Type\nTags:\ndivision  medicine  dentistry  clinical  activity  royal  college  faculties  consultant  GP  HCP  patient  episode  alongside  midwifery  unit  AMU  freestanding  FMU  SMR00  SMR01  SMR02  SMR04"

The term GP practice covers both partnerships and single-handed practices. Each GP practice in Scotland is identified by a unique GP practice code. The practice code is a four-digit code plus a check digit with ranges of codes allocated to each Health Board.\n(Scottish Morbidity Record - NHS Information Services)\n\nRecording Rules\n\nA standard 5 digit numerical code has been developed for the whole of Scotland. It comprises a 4 digit identifying code, which is within an agreed range for each Health Board, and a check digit.\nIt is the Practice Code of the patients registered GP which is recorded in this field\nIt should be noted that the GP Practice code in England is 6 characters long.\nThe General Practice code should be right justified, with the first character a space, unless it is a valid GP Practice Code from outwith Scotland.\nPoints to Note\n\nPractice code will be used to provide information to GMPs on referral activity.\nThe Practice Code on the patients referral or attendance should be record. If a patient changes GP practice between referral and attendance, the new Practice Code should be recorded.\nDummy practice codes are held in the reference files and are hard coded for validation. These codes are:\n99942 - Patients registered with a private practice only\n99957 - Patients not registered with a GP in the UK\n99961 - Patients where practice code is unknown and who are not covered by codes 99942, 99957, 99976, 99981, 99995 and 99961\n99976 - British armed forces patients not registered with a GP in the UK\n99981 - Foreign visitors not registered with a GP in Scotland\n99995 - Patients registered with a GP in England, Wales or Northern Ireland (excluding patients included under code 99942)\nGPPC is not validated for SMR00 or SMR01 records from Dental Hospitals (G106H, S206H, T113H).\nCross Checks\n\nIf it is a Scottish GPPC it must be a valid practice code which is open on the clinic date (SMR00), date of arrival (SMR30) or admission date (all other record types).\nIf it is a practice outwith Scotland it must be a valid code on the \"Rest of UK\" practice reference file.\nFurther Information\nIt should be noted that patients are no longer registered with an individual GP, but with a practice.\n\nIn NHS Scotland, the practice code is a four-digit code plus a check digit with ranges of codes allocated to each Health Board. ISD maintains a GP Practice code reference file which contains up to date details of address, postcode, telephone number for each GP Practice in Scotland.\n\nIn England and Wales, the field is 6 digits therefore to accommodate cross border patient flows, this should be taken into account.\n\nSMR Validation - General Practitioner Practice Code\nTags:\ngeneral  medical  practitioner  services  registered  GMP  SMR00  SMR01  SMR02  SMR04"

If there is more than one such condition, the one held most responsible for the greatest use of resources should be selected. If no diagnosis was made, the main symptom, abnormal finding, or problem should be selected as the main condition.\n\nPoints to Note\n\nFor patients who have died, the main condition is not necessarily the same as the condition recorded as the cause of death.\nThe main condition should be decided by a senior member of the medical staff and recorded in the agreed place in the case notes, on the appropriate form or computer system.\nIf the main condition is coded to a pair of dagger and asterisk codes, the dagger should be entered as main condition.\nIf the main condition is an injury or other condition due to an external cause, the injury or condition should be entered as main condition with the external cause code following the injury (or injuries).\nIn the case of the admission record for SMR04 the admission diagnosis would be as defined in the recording rules (but as diagnosed at the beginning of the episode of healthcare). Further guidance is given in the SMR04 section of the electronic data manual.\nCross Checks\n\nA check is made that each Diagnosis Code is valid as defined by the ICD classification. If not, an error will be reported.\nA check is made that the use of the code (although listed in the ICD Classification) is actually permitted on the record type. If a discrepancy is found, an appropriate error or query will be reported.\nMain condition is cross-checked against:\nSex\nAge (except SMR02)\nRarity (except SMR00, and SMR02)\nAdmission Type (SMR01)\nLength of Stay (SMR01 and SMR04)\nWaiting Time (SMR01 only)\nDischarge Type (SMR01)\nCondition on Discharge (SMR02 only)\nSMR Validation - Main Condition\n\nTags:\nmedical  social  managed  investigated  patient  stay  diagnosed  treatment  ICD10  classification  code  SMR00  SMR01  SMR02  SMR04"
