The Department of Health mandated the use of a minimum data set for inter-provider transfers from 1 January 2008.
The pathway data contained within this data is essential in order for receiving organisations to accurately monitor and report patient waiting times.
Inter-provider transfers
Referrals from other hospitals to Evelina London and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust must include a completed inter-provider minimum data set (MDS) or ensure that one is sent within 48 hours of referring a patient.
