Paediatric Critical Care Minimum Data Set
The primary purpose of the Paediatric Critical Care Minimum Data Set (PCCMDS) is to allow the operation of the National Tariff Payment System (NTPS) within paediatric critical care. It provides a record of what happens to a patient when they receive care in a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) or other critical care setting suitable for children.
