23Assessment Services
24Clinical Assessment Service models
- Referral letter reviewed (Review of Referral
Letter CAS) In this type of CAS, the CAS
clinician simply adds their expertise to the
assessment of the referral information provided
by the GP and the patient is then referred on or
advice returned to the GP. This style can be used
for diagnostic services where the diagnostics are
delivered as day-case appointments. - Telephone Consultation (Telephone CAS) A
telephone CAS operates by taking referral
information and then using a telephone
conversation with the patient to gain additional
information for the assessment. - Patient physically seen (Face-to-Face CAS) In
this model, the patient is physically seen and
assessed by a clinical specialist at an allotted
time. The patient is then referred to another
service or the advice sent back to the patients
GP to assist with management. - Patient physically seen and diagnostics/
treatment arranged (See and Treat CAS) This
differs from the Face-to-Face CAS in that the
clinicians or team that provide the assessment
may also perform some diagnostics and treat the
patient. Often these services are called
Clinical Assessment and Treatment Services (CATS)
/ integrated Clinical Assess and Treat Services
(iCATS).

32AGENDA FOR AFTERNOON
33AHP Clinical Terminology on Choose and Book
34Specialties and Clinic Types
- Specialties and Clinic Types have to be used
together to find services to refer to - Specialty is a coarse filter
- Clinic Type is a fine filter and should
describe a group of conditions / problems will
vary according to specialty - Currently 51 Specialties and typically between
1-14 Clinic Types per Specialty - Worked with NCRP representatives for AHP
specialties to derive the current AHP Specialties
and Clinic Types - Revisiting all Clinic Types
35Clinic Types
- Clinic Types are used as a fine filter on CAB.
They help to produce a more specific and relevant
set of services for a patient, from which it
should be easy for referrers to shortlist the
correct ones. - Each CAB service can be linked to one or more
Clinic Types within a single CAB Specialty
Diagram on next slide - Even though providers can allocate more than one
Clinic Type to a service, referrers can only
select one Clinic Type for their service search. - The National Choose and Book team, with input
from members of the National Speciality Reference
Group (NSRG), ensures that the available Clinic
Type names adequately reflect groupings of
services used within provider organisations, and
that they are meaningful to referrers. - We would like your involvement to ensure that CTs
in AHP Specialties are correct
36Relationships between entities
37Mapping guidance
- The more specialised services should typically be
mapped to a single Clinic Type whereas more
generalised services should typically be mapped
to most of the Clinic Types within a CAB
specialty. - General services may in addition be mapped to the
Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) Clinic Type i.e.
if the service covers more than is described by
the other specific Clinic Types alone or in
combination. - General Services should not be mapped to the NOS
Clinic Type alone (unless there really are no
other suitable Clinic Types to map to) as
referrers will be trained to only use the NOS
clinic type if none of the other specific Clinic
are suitable and hence will not be able to find
general services only mapped to NOS.
38AHP clinical terminology - review
- Met with AHP leads on 11 November 2008 to
- provide an update on Choose and Book
- suggest a thorough review of clinical terminology
with more involvement from the Specialty groups - Specialty Leads have made suggestions /
refinements for comment at these workshops - More art than science!
- Remember Clinic Types should first and foremost
be meaningful to referrers secondly, they should
help you to manage a streamlined pathway

41New Specialties and Clinic Types
42SNOMEDSystemised NOmenclature of MEDicine
43Background
- This is the key development arising from the
Finding Services Effectively project conducted in
2005 - SNOMED is the clinical terminology system for
Care Records Service - R4.0 made SNOMED functionality available to
providers - Providers initially informed via Communiqué not
to start assigning SNOMED terms to services
until a pilot project had been conducted - Refinements to the pool of SNOMED terms (to make
them more GP appropriate) and significant
Specialty / Clinic Type changes have been made
prior to implementation - Providers will be trained in February and March
and will start loading SNOMED subsets early 2009 - R4.2 will make SNOMED functionality available to
referrers implementation date still to
confirmed but probably June 2009
44Common misunderstandings
- SNOMED is not a new terminology system that needs
to learnt by CAB users it is intuitive - Although all terms are coded, users will be
working with common words and phrases that
predominantly relate to conditions - SNOMED does not require a change to the coding
systems with which staff are familiar in primary
or secondary care - There is already a mapping to Read and ICD-10 /
OPCS - Referrers will not be forced to search using
SNOMED
45How will SNOMED work with CAB?
- Each Clinic Type is associated with a set of
SNOMED Clinical Terms (known as a subset) which
contains all the relevant findings / conditions /
procedures - When services are defined, they are mapped to one
or more Clinic Types this enables a Service
Definer to apply appropriate SNOMED subsets - Providers can fine-tune which Clinical Terms are
associated with their services (i.e. add and
remove terms) - Referrers will be able to search for services
which are associated with a clinical concept - As now, further information about listed services
is provided by the Service Name and within the
service details

51NHS Choices and AHP Services
52Free Choice
- Allied Health Professional services currently
fall outside of the scope of Free Choice Policy,
as this is restricted to patients being referred
for a first (medical) consultant-led outpatient
appointment - Implications of exemption
- Can choose to put services on primary or
secondary care menu - Primary care menu services must be commissioned
in order to be visible - Secondary care menu visible to all
- All services on the Secondary care menu are
visible on NHS Choices - NHS Choices is a patient facing web application
that provides them with information on available
services and allows them to compare service
providers
53NHS Choices home page
54NHS Choices - Provider search result
55NHS Choices - Provider Treatments offered
56NHS Choices - Treatment Detail
57NHS Choices - Healthspace
58Self Referral
- In October 2008 the DH supported an initiative to
enable AHP services to move towards self referral
pathways - Self referral doesnt currently fit with the
Choose and Book process which requires a GP to
generate a Unique Booking Reference Number - This has been raised with the CAB Medical
Director for consideration - However NHS Choices allows the detail of services
to be visible to patients they could then
contact the service directly
