Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT)
“A practical guide to the data set” Thursday 3 rd May 2012
Welcome and Introductions
Netta Hollings Programme Manager for Mental Health and Community
Introduction
• Team introductions • Today is a practical ‘end to end’ consideration of data set processes • Data set mandated from 1st April 2012 – data collection is hopefully underway!
• First submission window opens 7th May (for Aprils data) and closes on 25th May Window opens next Monday !
Today is the opportunity to gain more understanding about what is required, ask questions and go away ready to start making submissions.
The ‘end to end’ process
Data collected in local system Analysis and reporting Data extracted and validated Data extracts downloaded Data uploaded to IAPT Intermediate database (IDB) Data quality and other feedback reports made available IDB uploaded to Bureau Service Portal (BSP) Data validation and processing
Current status
• System has been available for voluntary submission since December 2011 • 30+ sites have made a submission in readiness for mandation • Pre deadline processing outputs are available • Post deadline will not be available when submission window closes on 25th May. – Assurance work still to complete – Updates will be given as the development work progresses – Continue to submit as normal and make use of data quality reports and pre deadline extracts to refine processes

Building a Submission
Tim Holdsworth Information Products Testing Manager
The IDB contains the IAPT data set
• IAPT data set submitted to the Bureau Service Portal (BSP) as the IAPT Intermediate database (IDB): – A Microsoft Access database – No alternative method for submission exists – Contains 4 empty data tables - no additional functionality such as a data entry interface • Defined validation rules on submission leading to warnings or failures.
• Requires skills in data manipulation & an understanding of Microsoft Access to populate the database in the required manner.
• Request the database from the Health and Social Care Information Centre Contact Centre at [email protected]
or via the BSP following registration.
The Intermediate database (IDB)
• • Support for all versions of Access since 2002.
Tables
: Person, Referral, Appointment & Disability. • Required / mandatory / optional fields.
• Linkage: –
LPTID
– links tables
Service Request ID
links referrals to activity (distinct from MHMDS) • Defined structure which cannot be changed – removal of tables / amending structure will lead to a rejection.
Document
Content of the IDB
•
Inclusion rules
: – Referrals either opened in the RP or already open at the start of the RP – Referrals closed before the RP with a follow-up appointment (type ‘06’) – Appointments linked to those referrals – Patients associated with those referrals – Disabilities associated with those patients • Referrals don’t necessarily have appointments & not all patients have disabilities. For more details see ‘IAPT IDB data inclusion rules’ document available at www.ic.nhs.uk/iapt .
RP = Reporting Period
Data collation & submission
• Local data collection & validation (invest): – NHS management management – Postcode management – Mapping to secondary use standard • Data extraction from local system(s) for the required RP (month).
• Import into the IDB in the required format.
• Submit to the Bureau Service Portal (BSP).
RP = Reporting Period
Data validation
• Undertaken on each submission leading to either: –
A failure message
: indicating a significant issue(s) has been identified causing the file to be rejected. Issue needs to be rectified & the full data set resubmitted. –
Warning messages
: indicate issues have been identified that won’t stop the file processing. Where possible/necessary these issues should be rectified & the data set resubmitted. More detail on the validations is available in the ‘Summary of validations undertaken upon receipt of data set by Bureau Service Portal’ document available at www.ic.nhs.uk/iapt .
Example validations
Warnings
• NHS number status indicator code is null when a NHS number is provided.
• General medical practice code is not a valid ODS code.
Failures
• Local patient ID is null in any of the 4 IDB tables.
• Any date is not in a valid format.
• NHS number fails Mod 11 check.
Data summary report warnings
Data summary report diagnostics
Data submission scenarios
• Only one single unique organisation (provider/site) code per IDB. • Each provider/site code used must be associated with its own BSP account. • Provider/site code & commissioner code are in the person & referral tables respectively. • Explanation in the User Guidance for making submissions in the case of 1/multiple providers & 1/multiple commissioners. Your choice.
Known Issues
Tim Holdsworth Information Products Testing Manager
Examples
• Importing local system data into the IDB via Microsoft Excel causes truncation of values – in CSV format.
retain • Unhelpful warnings e.g.
– Missing diagnosis when not yet assessed – Missing scores when haven’t yet attended an appointment • Several system specific issues (e.g. around NHS numbers & postcodes).
Consult our FAQ document available at: www.ic.nhs.uk/iapt
IDB summary
• Only method of submission.
• Requires data manipulation/database skills.
• Careful transfer of data from local systems – not via Excel.
• Can submit data for more than one RP – inclusion rules will extract required information.
• Warnings are meant to inform
Break 11.40 – 11.55
Stages of Processing
Sarah McDiarmid Senior Information Analyst
Basic submission principles (recap)
• Monthly submissions of data via the BSP.
• Submission types: –
Primary
(P): current RP & compulsory – –
Refresh Primary & Refresh
queue) (R): previous RP & optional (last chance) (P & R): 2 files at once (can’t –
Not for Submission
(NFS): testing purposes, user defined RP (not necessarily current or previous) • One
Submission Period
current covers pre-deadline & post deadline processing of submissions received during the
Submission Window
.
RP = Reporting Period
Pre-deadline processing
• Occurs while the Submission Window is still open & is applied to every IDB (including NFS) uploaded to the BSP. Includes: – On submission validation.
– Extraction of data for the chosen upload type in accordance with submission requirements & data inclusion rules.
– Derivation of additional data items e.g. age at start & end of the RP, PCT of GP practice & postcode district.
– For every submission: a
Data Summary Report
containing warnings, validation failures, diagnostics & aggregate counts to help providers assess the quality of their submission.
– For every successful submission: flattening/normalising of the IDB into 5 CSV files to produce a provider’s
‘pre deadline (test) extract’
.
Post-deadline processing
• Occurs after the Submission Window has closed - during the final week of the Submission Period. • Applied to only the ‘last good’ P & R (if submitted) IDBs that have passed validation by the submission deadline. NFS files are not post-deadline processed.
• All data which meets the pre-deadline inclusion criteria will flow to post-deadline (unlike MHMDS).
• At the end of post-deadline processing: – Providers can download their
extracts post-deadline (final)
– Commissioners & the HSCIC can download their extracts • Extracts contain post-deadline derivations e.g. IAPT record number & First/Last scores.
Outputs from post-deadline processing
Patient identifiable data set Pseudonymised data set (non identifiable)
IAPT commissioners HSCIC IAPT providers • IAPT providers only receive data related to the patients they have treated.
• IAPT commissioners only receive data related to the patients for whom they have commissioned a service.
• The HSCIC receives data for all patients seen by all providers.

Pre & post deadline derivations
Pre-deadline processing
• Various derivations utilising data only present within the current submission & reference data e.g. age at referral received date.
Post-deadline processing
• Various derivations utilising data from one or more submissions (across RPs) e.g. – GAD first and last scores.
– IAPT person ID (used to track patients across providers & submissions). Not included in provider extracts as LPTID & Person ID cannot appear together.

Fixed period processing
• Data is automatically processed for a fixed period of time e.g. an IDB submitted as a primary file in May will be processed as April data even if the data relates to another RP.
• Submissions cannot be made for the current Submission Period after the submission window has closed. • 2 opportunities (months) to submit data for a RP – primary & refresh.
Upload screen - overview
• Submit & assess the quality of your IDB. • Shows the status of all IDB files that have been uploaded in the current Submission Window.
• All IDBs assigned unique BSP ID – 2 IDs are assigned for combined P & R files.
• Can download the files) for all submissions in the current Submission Period. • Can download

Tips on submitting
• Making that deadline...
–
Mix-ups
: choose submission type carefully –
NFS:
avoid for the current RPs & near the deadline –
Combined P & R files:
preferable as can’t queue submissions – Pace submissions over submission period – Commitment to process any file you submit before midnight ☺ • General tips / note: –
Close IDB
before submitting – ZIPs are better – –
Keep a copy Mergers
: IDBs (to re-submit), BSP IDs & extracts.
: avoid duplication of data, keep Exeter informed about your plans.

View the ‘Summary Report’:
– Helps you to assess the quality of your submission.
– Does the ‘Submission Type’ reflect the intended month (primary / refresh)?
– Is the ‘Total Record Count’ reasonable?
– Review the diagnostics e.g. • % of valid postcodes. Direct impact on data quality for your organisation.
• % of valid commissioner codes. Direct impact on flow of data to commissioners.
Submission history screen
• Shows your last good submissions from previous Submission Periods & their Data Summary Reports.
• Does not store your pre-deadline extracts for these submissions so ensure you download these while you can. • Your latest last good file(s) (from the Upload screen) will appear following post-deadline processing.
• Post-deadline record count = number of records in your post-deadline patient CSV = number of records in your pre-deadline patient CSV.
• Known issues around field names & population of the downloaded by/on fields – scheduled to be fixed soon.
Submission history screen
• • Go here for your final P and R extracts. Stores extracts for the previous 3 RPs only so preferably download & store extracts as they appear.

IAPT PbR – an overview of data flow
Nick Bridges Senior Business Anlayst
Payment by results pilot
• Use same technology and process as ‘normal’ data set • Compile an IDB – which includes one extra table (‘pbr’) • Submit via BSP • No validations undertaken on PbR data – You must ensure it meets requirements • Receive no data quality feedback via the BSP • Receive no PbR data extract via BSP • Amended IDB will be issued to pilot sites (with the extra 5 th table)
Timescales
• Submission begins from opening of first submission window on 7 th May • Collection for 9 months • 33 data items – Patient experience questionnaire responses – W&SAS scores – Long term conditions
Data processing
• Data items are included in PbR table to allow linkage back to main data set • Will be appending the pseudonymised patient identifier to the PbR table to allow linkage between PbR table and main data set and so allow use of the full data set during analysis • Data quality and PbR analysis reports to be developed

Next Steps
Nick Bridges Senior Business Anlayst
Next steps
• Consider what has been said today • Do you know what you need to do and how you need to do it?
• Make use of available guidance • Let us know if you still have queries or uncertainties
Further guidance includes
• User guide • Validation rules • Inclusion rules • ISB documentation • Data handbook • Data set readiness checklist • Documents issued by system suppliers
IAPT Websites
• www.ic.nhs.uk/iapt • http://www.isb.nhs.uk/documents/isb-1520/amd-29-2011/index_html • http://www.iapt.nhs.uk/
Readiness checklist…….
• Review the guidance • Register your interest in receiving updates • Communicate data set requirements and the implementation timeframe to system suppliers • Identify local resources required to produce monthly extracts, manage data quality issues, prepare the data set for submission, make the submission, resolve any data quality issues and undertake any resubmissions required.
Readiness checklist…….
• • • Ensure those tasked with the collection, processing and submission of the data set are fully aware of the requirement and their responsibilities.
Understand that a series of validations are undertaken following the submission of the data set – which can lead to either a failure of the submission or a warning message. Apply for an Organisation Code from the Organisation Data Service (ODS) if not already obtained.
Readiness checklist…….
• • • Apply for N3 connectivity, if this is not already in place Obtain and gain familiarity with the IAPT intermediate database. Register with the Connecting for Health Systems and Service Delivery Team to gain access to the Bureau Service Portal
Readiness checklist…….
• The data set contains patient identifiable data, such as NHS number, date of birth and postcode. Local processes for data extraction and storage must adhere to all required Information Governance standards to prevent the inappropriate disclosure of identifiable data.
• Understand the data set submission timetable.
