The Genitourinary Medicine Clinic Activity Dataset (GUMCAD) comprises anonymised patient-level data and serves as the mandatory surveillance system for STIs, submitted on a quarterly basis. GUMCAD offers a comprehensive array of data on STI tests, diagnoses, and services from all commissioned sexual health services in England, which is crucial for national reporting and local commissioning.
The process of creating, verifying, and uploading GUMCAD can be complex and intimidating without prior experience in submitting national reports or proper guidance. Furthermore, it’s critical to ensure this task is executed correctly, as your sexual health service will be evaluated, and often remunerated, based on this dataset.
Your clinical electronic patient record (EPR) provider will have equipped you with a GUMCAD reporting tool. While this tool will be configured to default settings, and unlikely to be incorrect, it may not fully encapsulate the unique characteristics of your sexual health service.
At Tessell, we offer to review and optimise your Genitourinary Medicine Clinic Activity Dataset (GUMCAD). Our objective is to work collaboratively with you to attain the best possible GUMCAD submission for your service, instilling confidence in the data you report.
