Post type FAQ

EA – How is data about Employment submitted to NHS England?

Data about the employment status is submitted in the IDS004EmpStatus table. Data about employment support contacts is submitted in the IDS201CareContact table and the IDS202CareActivity table.  All of these reports can be found in the National reports app.

EA – We are currently using the IAPT Treatment Type for both IAPT and EA referrals. Is there a way to clearly differentiate between the two?

In iaptus, we have the option to rename Treatment Types. By doing so, the Episodes would still be categorised as IAPT, and you would retain the same functionality of having two separate Episodes. This would allow users to easily distinguish between IAPT and EA when creating referrals, thus enhancing clarity within a single patient record.

Your Account Manager can assist with renaming a Treatment Type. However, keep in mind that renaming a Treatment Type will affect all past and current referrals associated with it. Therefore, if you prefer to maintain historical data, it might be better to request an additional Treatment Type instead.

EA – Can you report on how many Employment Support referrals reached recovery?

If the therapist on the Treatment episode is the referring one, then you can run the Referral Count in Hypercube.  

Filters to apply:

Set the Employment Support Suitability Indicator  to Yes.

and then group by Recovery Indicators – Recovery (scroll right to the bottom of the list.)

If you want to apply a date range, apply the Referral Received date range, found under the Care Pathway Filters section.

If you want to apply a discharge date range, apply Care Pathway – Entered Stage (s), select all Referral Closed values and enter and From date and To date. Your superuser can set up a discharge Stage Group (Superuser Menu – Stage Groups) , which can contain all of the Referral Closed values, if this is the case, select Care Pathway – Entered Stage Group(s), select the appropriate Group e.g. Discharges and select a From date and To date.

Can we report on therapists who have referred patients for Employment Support within the service?

If the therapist on the Talking Therapies (IAPT) Treatment episode is the referring one, then you can run the Referral Count in  Hypercube  

Filters to apply:

Set the Employment Support Suitability Indicator to Yes and then group by the Allocated Therapist.

If you just want active referrals, apply the Exclude CLOSED Cases found under the Additional Filters section.

If you want to apply a date range, apply the Referral Received date range, found under the Care Pathway Filters section.

You will then receive a table by Therapist with a referral count for each, you can then click on the Referral count hyperlink to jump you into the patient table.

Where is the EA Workbook located?

The workbook is called ‘IAPT MDM v2 EA’ and is available from the Reporting section in iaptus under the ‘Dashboards’ tab. The workbook contains all the measures included in the NHSE Monthly Data Measures reports.

What happens if I need to link more than one Employment episode to a Talking Therapies (IAPT) episode?

NHS England expects that a single Employment Referral Date is provided for each Talking Therapies (IAPT) episode of care. The iaptus system follows this workflow, ensuring that your reporting data is accepted for submissions. If you find that your service differs from this expectation, please bring it to the attention of the DWP and NHSE. When the rules change, iaptus will be updated accordingly.
