Collection and usage attributes

Guide for use:

Requires services to record the date of each service contact, including the same date where multiple visits are made on one day (except where the visits may be regarded as a continuation of the one service contact). Where an individual patient/client participates in a group activity, a service contact date is recorded if the person's participation in the group activity results in a dated entry being made in the patient's/client's record.

Collection methods:

For collection from community based (ambulatory and non-residential) agencies.
