Australian Diabetic Foot Ulcer Minimum Dataset Dictionary

This document serves as the dictionary explaining the Australian Diabetic Foot Ulcer Minimum Dataset. The purpose of the dataset is to provide services across Australia with a well-defined core set of nationally-recognised evidencebased diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) data items. These data items are considered necessary to collect for services to meaningfully capture, analyse and benchmark their local DFU processes and outcomes against (inter)national standards.

The purpose of this dictionary is to provide services across Australia with a comprehensive reference to guide the use of the Australian DFU Minimum Dataset.
