Guide for use:

This data element, for use in the Non-admitted patient context, uses a value domain developed for the Outpatient care NMDS, which includes one reference to 'occasions of service'. In this context, 'occasions of service' should be interpreted as synonymous to a 'non-admitted patient service event'.
