SACT - Demographic and Care Professional details

Demographic and care professional details are required for every record to ensure that the correct patient can be identified, and information can be correctly linked. The Demographics section should be completed by every Provider the first time a record is submitted.

There will only be one demographics and care professional details section completed for each record. Demographic linkage items will be required each time the record is submitted.

It is anticipated that some demographic data items listed below will be collected by every provider with which the patient has contact. Where this information is exchanged, the appropriate data item name should be used.

May be up to one occurrence per submission (0..1)

Start of section - Care Professional (Initiating Treatment)                                                                        Section 0..1

End of repeating section - Care Professional (Initiating Treatment) 

The following data item has been removed from SACT v4:

• 7 - Consultant GMC Code
• • replaced with two new care professional identification fields within the ‘Care Professional (Initiating Treatment)’ section

Person Family Name

This is a mandatory data item. The ‘Person Family Name’ is that part of a person's name which is used to describe family, clan, tribal group, or marital association.

Person Given Name

This is a mandatory data item. The ‘Person Given Name’ is the forename(s) or given name(s) of a person.

Person Stated Gender Code

The ‘Person Stated Gender Code’ is the person's gender as self-declared (or inferred by observation for those unable to declare their Person Stated Gender).

Note:

• this may not be the same as their birth ‘phenotypic’ sex

Patient Postcode

This is a mandatory data item. The ‘Patient Postcode’ is the postcode of the usual address of the patient at the time of treatment. This is the code allocated by the Post Office to identify a group of postal delivery points. A code used primarily for the delivery of correspondence to addresses. Postcodes may also be used to define a geographic area.

Notes:

• the following two data items are part of a new section which is required
  • therefore, if you do not know this information, you do not have to submit any data
• however, both data items are mandatory within the section
  • therefore, you cannot submit one without the other
