Collection and Usage Attributes
Record all interventions provided to a client during an occasion of service.

This item refers to interventions provided by the NSP/other staff member on duty.

Interventions are sometimes provided when a client is not picking up any equipment and it should be ensured that these interventions are also recorded.

Code 11 Safe injecting/Veincare information/education
Includes provision of information or education on how to find a vein or inject into a muscle, being shown how to insert the syringe properly, and/or receiving information about safer injecting than they did not already know.

Code 12 Drug information/education
Involves provision of information related to the drug reported to be injected or any other drug that the client might enquire about with intent to inject including the effects and interactions of these drugs by themselves or in combination with other drugs.

Code 14 Safe disposal information/education
Includes provision of information and advice about safe disposal issues, such as the benefits of safe disposal and safe disposal options.

Code 19 Other information/education
Includes provision of information or education that involves discussion between the NSP staff member and the client, and that cannot be allocated to codes 10 to 18.

Code 20 Client complaint
A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction with the level and quality of any service, policies or procedures. Dissatisfaction may arise from the service provided by the impact of a particular policy or procedure.
Record if customer complaint is the primary point of discussion.

Code 22 Opioid Treatment Program information/education
Includes provision of information on the opioid treatment program, advising on the advantages of the program, enrolment options available to the client, discussing their treatment progress, etc.
