Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | Home and Community Care MDS 2009 Community Services (retired), Recorded 16/11/2009 Implementation start date: 11/05/2006 Conditional obligation: Recorded if the HACC client has a carer (see Person—informal carer existence indicator, code N). DSS specific information: Collection methods: The agency should record this data element at the beginning of each HACC service episode where a carer has been identified (i.e. code 1 recorded for Carer—existence of).
The agency should also assess the currency of this information at subsequent assessments/re-assessments and update the agency’s record if necessary.
Reporting requirements:
This data element is required for reporting in the HACC MDS collection in those circumstances where a carer has been identified (i.e. Carer—existence of code 1).
If the agency’s system or records do not provide sufficient information to accurately report on this data element, the agency should use code 9 Not stated/inadequately described.
This element is similar to the DE Informal carer – number of care recipients (NRCP), code N[N], collected in the NRCP MDS (#308603). Rather than a Yes/No item, that DE collects the number of recipients in the ranges 1,2,3+. It also recommends a further list of required items for collection.
