Redesign of the Commissioning Data Set Pages in the NHS Data Model and Dictionary

The NHS Data Model and Dictionary Service have redesigned the Commissioning Data Set pages within the NHS Data Model and Dictionary, to provide all the required rules and information in one view. The purpose of the change of layout of the Commissioning Data Set tables within the NHS Data Model and Dictionary is to improve user understanding of:

• The conditional data validation applied by the CDS-XML schema Any other specific rules applied to Data Elements within the Commissioning Data Sets
• The rules governing conformance with the CDS-XML schema
• The rules governing conformance with NHS business requirements
• How the Commissioning Data Set Interchange and Message Headers and Trailers are constructed around a CDS message.
