Service/Area Data Source Inclusions/exclusions Additional notes
Acute Services 2011/12 SMR01 IRF costed data extract1 SMR01 IRF costed data extract is based on costs per episode. The following exclusions were applied to the SMR01 IRF costed file for the programme budgeting analysis: Activity at non NHS locations, Activity at NHS locations costed with national average costs, Discharges after end of financial year, Special Care Baby Unit. The IRF dataset includes Golden Jubilee and NSD funded services aswell as Younger physically disabled and rehabilitation activity. Non-elective activity is reported separately under Accident and Emergency. Any difference between the SMR01 IRF costed file and the Costs Book was apportioned based on the distribution of the SMR01 based PBC data.
Geriatric Long Stay 2011/12 SMR01_E IRF costed data extract2 SMR01_E IRF costed data extract is based on costs per episode. The following exclusions were applied to the SMR01_E IRF costed file for the programme budgeting analysis: Activity at non NHS locations, Activity at NHS locations costed with national average costs, Discharges after end of financial year. The IRF dataset includes any applicable NSD funded services. Total cost in the IRF costed file for GLS is approximately 20% lower than those reported in the costs book because of the current resident issue. For GLS the national dataset is discharge based and therefore current residents are not captured under-estimating activity and hence costs. GLS activity has been costed using unit tariffs calculated with Costs Book activity as the denominator to avoid over-costing of the activity that is in SMR01. Any difference between the SMR01_E IRF costed file and the Costs Book has been apportioned based on the distribution of the SMR01_E based PBC data.
Maternity Services Costs Book Includes Special Care Baby Unit.
