Community Services Dataset (CSDS)

The Community Services Dataset (CSDS) is a patient level, output based, secondary uses dataset which will deliver robust, comprehensive, nationally consistent, and comparable person-centred information for people who are in contact with publicly funded Community Services. 

The CSDS is an update to the Children and Young People’s Health Services (CYPHS) dataset standard (ref: SCCI 1069) so that the scope includes data for people of all ages in receipt of publicly funded Community Services. The CYPHS dataset collects data for all patients aged 0 up until their nineteenth birthday. The CSDS supersedes the CYPHS dataset. 

As a secondary uses dataset it intends to re-use clinical and operational data for purposes other than direct patient care. It defines the data items, definitions, and associated value sets to be extracted or derived from local systems.
