About Us - Overview
The purpose of the CCSD is to:- Establish and maintain a common standard of procedure codes and narratives which reflect current medical practice within the independent healthcare sector - the CCSD Schedule
- Make this standard available to all those working in the sector at a minimal, equitable charge which does not limit adoption or usage
- Update the standard in line with new technologies or changes in medical practice
The CCSD Group does not:
- Discuss or determine levels of agreement for re-imbursement or fees
- Define consultant nor anaesthetist classifications. Tribal Group facilitates the assignment of hospital classifications with the Hospital Liaison Group, in line with OFT guidance
There are two workstreams responsible for CCSD work:
- The CCSD Board: Acts as a steering committee, providing overall direction and strategy and ensures that the CCSD delivers against it strategic objectives
- The CCSD Working Group is responsible for ongoing maintenance of CCSD Schedule. The Working Group discusses and decides the outcome of any new procedure amendment requests and other changes to the Schedule
Further overview information and CCSD metrics of the code requests are provided in the Briefing Pack download.
