Guide for use: | An occasion of service is any examination, consultation, treatment or other service provided to a patient, or a group of patients, in a functional unit of a health service or hospital on each occasion that such a service is provided.

The location of the provider and patient is not relevant. An Occasion of Service must satisfy the following criteria:
