CCAD Dataset

I am writing to let you know that there will be a minor change to the current BCIS-CCAD dataset (version 5.2.3). As you know I have resisted changing the dataset for as long as possible to allow units to get up to speed with collecting the data, without having to chase moving goalposts. However the problem is that this dataset does not allow us to measure time delays involved in moving patients between hospitals (particularly from non-PCI centres to PCI centres). Details of this change can be found on the PCI Data Collection page of the website.
