Summary
The NWL HCD linked table are a number of high cost drugs that are excluded from the Payment by Results (PbR) tariff. They are typically specialist and are delivered to patients within NWL. The data includes details such as drug name, quantity and dosage.
Documentation
The purpose of the Drugs Patient Level Contract Monitoring (DrPLCM) is to enable the interchange, in a uniform format, of monthly patient level drug contract monitoring data between commissioners and providers of healthcare. This will ensure that contract monitoring and reporting is consistent and comparable across all commissioning organisations and their footprints.
