why 6 monthly "complete" neurovascular assessments for "high risk" pts? in clinics i have worked in, all diabetic pts have a 12-monthly "complete" neurovascular assessment, the function obviously is to 'catch' the "low risk" pts if and when they achieve "high risk" status, so a regular treatment regime can be instigated. At each treatment session, a visual inspection of feet and footwear is part thereof. A pt cannot get any 'worse' than a 'high risk' classification, so what's the point of doubling "complete" assessments, surely a 12/12 interval is sufficient? yours truly, the ignorant one
