Guide for use: | This field will always be populated. CODE 1 Yes Follow-up is required. CODE 2 No Follow-up is not required. Where the date accuracy indicator is AAA, a response of 'No' should be recorded for this data element. Where a date accuracy indicator is not AAA, the user should indicate whether follow-up is required. For example, if the person does not know their exact birthday there is nothing to be gained in follow-up, while if the date was estimated because the person was not fully conscious and able to provide details, follow-up should always be undertaken. |
