Comments
Comments:
In settings where the monitoring of a person's health is ongoing and where management can change over time (such as general practice), the Service contact—service contact date, DDMMYYYY should be recorded.
The main use of this data element is to enable categorisation of management regimes against best practice for diabetes.
