The NSF content will develop to meet the needs of the reformed system. It currently includes common documentation to enable effective planning, commissioning, service delivery and performance analysis.
- nationwide service specifications
- the Purchase Unit Data Dictionary with its related financial information
- the Common Counting Standards and the Common Costing Standards and Common Costing Guidelines, that rely on alignment with the consistent use of clinical coding, Diagnostic Related Groups and cost weights.
