Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | Children's Services NMDS Community Services (retired), Superseded 21/05/2010 DSS specific information: In the Children's Services NMDS, this data element should be rounded to the nearest quarter of an hour. In cases where the person received overnight care, the leaving time should be recorded on the initial day as 2359 and the next day the first arrival time should be recorded as 0000. For children who are included on the data collection form, but do not attend all or some of the sessions, the reporting field should reflect the child’s non-attendance of these sessions and be filled in as 0000. Therefore, for children who ‘usually attend’, but in fact did not attend for the collection week, all attendance times should be recorded as 0000. Times should only be recorded for children who actually attended the service. |
