Collection methods:![]() | The definition of the term 'multiple health-care provider' can vary depending on the context and/or collection in which the term is being applied.

The health-care providers may be of the same profession (medical, nursing or allied health).

In practice, this should be interpreted as meaning that the patient can separately identify the unique care provided by each health-care provider. For example:
