Overview

This page provides a very high view of the draft Epic titles and, where appropriate, individual requirements that are expected to be included in Demand & Capacity Planning Tools (DCPT).

The Epics are grouped into two broad areas:

  1. Dashboard Management - the utilisation of Dashboards to support General Practice demand & capacity planning activity

  2. Data Management - the management and grouping of data retrieved from Foundation Solutions to make it usable for demand and capacity planning purposes. Data groupings include…

    1. Activity Data Mappings (Activity Service Lines and Activity Modes)

    2. Code Sets

    3. Patient Specific Groups of Criteria

Glossary of Terms

  • Activity Data - data relating to a procedure or event which has taken place (e.g. vaccinations, blood tests, prescriptions).

  • Activity Mode - groupings of activity data based on Mode of activity (e.g. face-to-face, telephone).

  • Activity Service Line - a grouping of activity data based on purpose of activity (e.g. flu, vaccinations).

  • Code Set - a collection of SNOMED CT codes that have been grouped together to aid management of the data. Code sets include those defined locally and those defined by NHS England.

  • Patient Specific Groups of Criteria - criteria used to identify a specific group of Patients, using national business rules, SNOMED CODEs, Code Sets and Core Clinical System data.

  • SNOMED CT - Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms, a systematically organised computer processable collection of medical terms providing codes, terms, synonyms and definitions used in clinical documentation and reporting.
