These classification categories were not mutually exclusive, for example, a single consultation may have provided care for sinusitis as well as for a wheeze-related illness.
For example, an open consultation with youth advocates caused UNAids leadership to rethink how it helps younger advocates to input into and influence its work.
To calculate the cost of, for example, an outpatient consultation or a hospital bed-day is often time consuming and costly.
For example, if a consultation included a discussion about STI symptoms/check and mental health, it was identified as a STI symptom consultation.
For example, a person having a consultation coded for cruciate ligament sprain (S83.5) in March followed by one in April coded as meniscal tear (S83.2) would be included once in the overall annual incidence estimate (type of injury = cruciate ligament sprain) but would be included in the numerator for the injury-specific annual incidence for both cruciate ligament sprain and meniscal tear.
The time interval could become too long, for example if a consultation appointment is cancelled.
For example, offering a consultation that is not face-to-face was less acceptable to clinicians for conditions with high penetrance than for low penetrance conditions or carrier testing.
For example a separate analysis of consultations in which at least 3 out of 6 questions were asked and some form of physical exam performed and the suspected diagnosis of TB was explained, resulted in an average duration of 13 minutes 16 seconds (median 13 minutes 12 seconds, n = 4).
Time for a consultation of, for example, a nurse practitioner, dietician or other specialist was set at 15 minutes.
For example, a recent study of diabetes consultations found that the patients who required interpreters were characterised by both a cultural and a social distance from the healthcare professional [ 12, 13].
