Urological Cancer Data Standards

Overview & Background
Overview
The Scottish Cancer Group supports the development of Urological Cancer Data Standards for NHS Scotland in order to ensure a national approach to the collection of clinical and non-clinical data items relating to cancer. The aim is to ensure inter-compatibility of national clinical information systems, and to support the implementation of an electronic integrated health record. Cancer already has a range of individual national data sets for audit, screening and registration and NCDDP standards build on these systems. National data standards will support data sharing and allow secondary use of data for these purposes. Some NCDDP cancer core standards and site-specific standards for breast, endometrial and head & neck cancers have already been published. However a need for further cancer urological standards was identified. A multi-disciplinary Clinical Working Group, established in May 2007 and supported by the National Clinical Dataset Development Programme (NCDDP) Support Team in Information Services Division (ISD), carried out the development of these urological cancer data standards.
The Urological Cancer Data Standards will: Define common data items recommended for collection in a wide variety of
clinical settings Support the exchange of patient information between healthcare providers Support the consistent recording of patient information throughout NHS
Scotland
It is important to emphasise that these are data standards rather than a dataset. This means that the individual data items included in this document are not required to be recorded together in a single clinical information system. However where it is considered appropriate to record a particular data item as part of the record of care, the information should be recorded in accordance with the nationally agreed standard.
Background to NCDDP
The National Clinical Dataset Development Programme (NCDDP) supports clinicians to develop sets of interoperable national datasets to facilitate the implementation of the integrated care records across NHS Scotland. These standards will: Support direct patient care, by reflecting current best practice guidance Facilitate effective communication between health care professionals Improve data quality and support secondary data requirements where possible
including data to support clinical governance Be freely and widely available through publication in the web-based Health &
Social Care Data Dictionary
Urological Cancer Data Standards

Incorporate agreed national clinical definitions and implement national terminology
Be UK compatible where possible
The Chief Medical Officer established the programme in 2003 to support clinicians developing national clinical data standards, initially to support the national priority areas. These standards are an essential element of the Electronic Health Record, a central aim of the National e-Health Strategy. More information can be found on our website www.show.scot.nhs.uk/clinicaldatasets/.
Clinical Terminology
The strategic standard for clinical terminology in NHS Scotland is SNOMED-Clinical Terms. This means that over the next few years, clinical information systems will progress to record clinical data using this international standard.
Date Recording
It is good record-keeping practice always to identify the date of recording of any clinical information. It is expected that all clinical information systems should include “date stamping” as standard functionality; therefore the Urological Cancer Standards do not deal with this issue. In many clinical situations, the date of an event, investigation, etc is required for clinical purposes and should be visible to the health care professional. This date may not be the same as the date on which the data are entered onto the system. In these instances the system must allow the health care professional to enter whichever date is appropriate. These issues must be addressed during system specification and development. The date format for storage and management within a system should conform to the 1Government Data Standards Catalogue format: CCYY-MM-DD. However, this does not preclude entry or display of data on the user interface using the traditional DD-MM-CCYY format. An example of a date & time in correct format is: 1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00 (CCYY-MM-DDThh: mmTZD) It is recommended that a time should always be recorded with the appropriate date and not on its own, however it may not be necessary to display the date along with the time. This is of particular importance where any calculations or analyses are likely to be performed. Automated times recorded by IT systems should include all elements of the time, i.e. hour, minutes and seconds, and are expected to be actual. Where times are entered manually, it is likely that only the hours and minutes will be required, although in some circumstances only hours may be required. Time, or any element of the time (hours, minutes or seconds) may be actual or estimated. In some circumstances only an actual time may be acceptable, whilst in others an estimated time may be allowed. In the latter situation, it may be necessary to identify whether the time recorded is actual or estimated. Times identified as actual may be used in calculations and analyses. Times marked as estimated should be treated with caution and the implications of undertaking any calculations or analyses should be considered in the particular context within which the time is recorded or to be made subsequent use of. Where an estimated time is allowed, the appropriate degree of verification detail required should be decided, again dependent on the context in which it is recorded and how the time is to be used.

Government Data Standards Catalogue 1. All times must be expressed in the 24 hour clock format, e.g. one minute past midnight is 00:01:00. 2. Values of any element less than 10 should be entered with a zero in the first position. 3. All times for UK transactions/events will be assumed to be GMT. 4. Systems should record whether the time is Coordinated Universal Time or British Summer Time in the “Time zone designator”. This will allow time elapsed to be calculated correctly, for example for A&E waiting times
