Minimal Data Set: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The '''Minimal Data Set''' is the least amount of data that needs to be collected for a new patient when they are first [[adding a patient | added]] to the database. This data is [[Sending ~~patients~~ | sent]] every week for '''all patients''', not just those who are [[Final Check]]ed. This data needs to be entered for '''all newly admitted patients''' during '''every data collection shift'''. With the exception of special requests from head office, it is more important to collect this data than to complete collection for existing patients, '''especially for incomplete files'''.
