Description:
Assuring Transformation is a data collection that has been developed in response to Transforming Care: A national response to Winterbourne View Hospital and Winterbourne View Review: Concordat: A Programme of Action.
The Concordat, published by the Department of Health and Social Care in December 2012, aims to ensure that all people with a learning disability receive the health care and support they need in the most appropriate setting.
Version 4.0 of this dataset includes changes to the established questions and changes to improve the validity, accuracy and reliability of responses. These include:
- Addition of new questions relating to:
- Whether gender identity is the same as at birth
- Looked After Children legal status for under 18 year olds
- The sex of the ward
- Pre-admission Local Area Emergency Protocol (LAEP) date
- Annual Health Checks
- Self-segregation
- If Local Authority and ICS aware of planned discharge / transfer
- Clinically ready for discharge and reasons for delayed discharge
- Amendments to existing questions to better align Assuring Transformation with the Mental Health Services Data Set (MHSDS) and NHS Data Model and Dictionary
- Removal of questions where the information can be found elsewhere or is no longer relevant.
- There are also minor changes to validations within the Clinical Audit Platform (CAP) system to improve the robustness of the data when captured.
- Improvements to guidance for submitters.
