Time frame of data and timeliness SMR01 and SMR04 data up to 31 March 2021. Data extracted October 2021.
Coverage General and psychiatric hospitals within Scotland, 1997/98 - 2020/21
Completeness For this release, data from the State Hospital was only available up until 31 December 2020 at the time of data extraction. This was due to systems issues at the State Hospital. The average number of State Hospital discharges since 1997/1998 is 140 per year and as such the missing fourth quarter for 2020/2021 should not affect the data significantly. The latest data completeness figures for SMR01 and SMR04 can be obtained from the following website: https://www.opendata.nhs.scot/dataset/scottish-morbidity-record-completeness
Accuracy A data quality assurance exercise for SMR04 was carried out for 2015-2016, with assessment of agreed data items at submitting hospital sites across mainland Scotland. A similar exercise for SMR01 was carried out for 2019-2020. The results for both exercises are available here: https://beta.isdscotland.org/products-and-services/data-quality-assurance/dqa-assessments/
Continuity of data The definitions of the variables and measures used here are largely unchanged over the period that data has been available within SMR01 and SMR04. This report allocates patients to NHS boards and council areas of residence based on the latest geographical boundaries that came into effect on 1 April 2019.
Concepts and definitions A glossary defining the terms used in the data release can be found here: https://publichealthscotland.scot/publications/mental-health-inpatient-activity/mental-health-inpatient-activity-23-november-2021/glossary/
Disclosure Statistical disclosure control has been applied. As such, the figures presented here will not be additive. Moreover, care should be taken when comparing the present data to previously published information. For more information, please refer to the PHS Statistical Disclosure Control Protocol: https://publichealthscotland.scot/publications/statistical-disclosure-protocol/statistical-disclosure-protocol/
Revision statement The SMR01 and SMR04 datasets are dynamic and subject to change. Future releases may include revised data for previous years. In this release, NHS Forth Valley saw an increase in 2019/20 numbers, as their data was incomplete for 2019/20 at the time of the 2019/20 publication.
Official statistics designation National Statistics
Relevance and key uses of the statistics There are many users of the SMR01 and SMR04 data, including the Scottish Government, NHS clinical and medical staff, PHS, charities, and members of the public. Some of the purposes this information is used for are: NHS Boards benchmarking their performance against other NHS Boards; Scottish Government Health Department for a variety of purposes, including to support the development, implementation, and monitoring of policy and performance; a range of users request information on the number of admissions with specific diagnoses and by particular geographic breakdowns; press and media use the information to inform public debate and discussion.
