Wiki Diabetic footcare last seen date

[jayaprakash.jayasheelan@clinicanywhere.com]

Hello Folks! When the patient comes in for diabetic footcare it is required for the Dr. to document in their note who the PCP is and the date last seen. I have one doubt related to this question. If our provider is treating a patient from past 1 year which last seen date do I need to update. We obtained the last seen date from the patient's PCP for this first time but its been a year the patient is visiting our provider for the footcare. The last seen date should be within 6 months so should the patient go back to his/her PCP every 6 months to obtain a last seen date or can we use previous visit date as last seen date.

Thank you!
