isd_smr00
SMR00 relates to all outpatients (new and follow-up) in specialties other than Accident & Emergency (A&E), and Genito-Urinary Medicine. SMR00 includes follow-up as well as new attendances
and Did Not Attends (DNAs) where computer recording is in place. Furthermore, in addition to the basic administrative data set, it allows the recording of procedural information, for which a
"Short list of Procedures performed on Outpatients" has been drawn up (Refer to SMR Data Manual for codes and values). There are a number of fields that are predominantly blank and reserved
for the inclusion of diagnostic information which is a possible future development (for ISD).
