2.5.16 Follow-up examination (aftercare and monitoring obligation) Estimated reading: 1 minute 817 views Authors Goal and purpose The requirements for follow-up examinations must be formulated in the treatment plans. The conditions for the follow-up examination (who examines, what intervals, what is recorded, what is reported to whom, who analyses, who bears the costs) must be clarified.
