Agenda 1. Welcome & Introduction of Scheme Staff 2. Meeting Terms of Reference 3. Case and Preliminary Score Review a) Case 865-874 b) Educational Cases 875 - 876 4. Questions / comments
This meeting is held between the end of case consultation and results being issued and now replaces the additional final week of the case consultation. This meeting is an educational exercise; an opportunity to explain the reasons behind scoring and merging or why cases were excluded. For clarity, this is not an opportunity to alter merging decisions, as participants have that opportunity during the Case Consultation period. An additional CPD point will be awarded to those who attend, and it will be added to the annual certificate. Please note you have to stay for >50% of the meeting to gain this point (attendance times are monitored automatically by Teams) We always welcome any feedback good or bad you may have about today.
CaseConsultation 156 responses received for round t 91 responses received for consultation 58.33% QUORATE Thank-you for submitting responses and consultation on time you have made completion of this round much easier for all Basic Rules regarding Case Consultation and Merging Diagnostic categories: If you are exempt from a category, your consultation response to that case is also not counted Each case must have received a consultation response from at least 50% of those that answered it For a merge to be automatically accepted, more than 50% of consultation respondents must agree Between 40-50% agreement, the merge will be accepted only with the agreement of the Organiser (i.e. clinically valid). The consensus CAN be over-ridden if there are clinically valid reasons for doing so. These are recorded, and reviewed at the AMR.
