Guide for use:Help on this term

A service contact is regarded as an individual session where the service is provided for one patient/client with or without third party involvement. A service contact is considered to be a group session where the service is delivered at the same time to more than one client.

A service contact where care delivery is reviewed and the patient/client is absent, such as a case conference or multidisciplinary review, is regarded as an individual session.

A service contact is regarded as a group session where two or more patients/clients are participating in the service contact with or without third parties and the nature of the service would normally warrant dated entries in the clinical records of the patients/clients in question.

A service contact is also regarded as a group session where third parties for two or more patients/clients are participating in the service contact without the respective patients/clients and the nature of the service would normally warrant dated entries in the clinical records of the patients/clients in question.
