Summary
The purpose of the Specialised Mental Health – Patient Level Dataset (SMH PLD) Specification is to enable the interchange, in a uniform format, of monthly specialised mental health patient level contract monitoring data between commissioners and providers of healthcare. This will make sure contract monitoring and reporting is consistent and comparable across all commissioning organisations and their footprints.
