| Guide for use: | Assessment measures are clinical outcome measures appropriate for use when objectively measuring a person’s health or health related circumstance. The measure may or may not be standardised; and may be profession specific, or shared amongst a number of professions. Profession specific code sets can be used for the allied health service provider to choose from. This data element is used in the Allied health assessment cluster. In the absence of nationally consistent code sets or values for recording assessment measure name ‘free text’ is to be used. Assessment measures may be recorded for all allied health service events. A combination of assessment types, measures and results fields represent a discrete assessment. Each allied health service event may have one or more assessment types, measures and results recorded, up to a maximum of 99.
