A Patient Initiated Out-Patient Follow Up Appointment is an APPOINTMENT.

A Patient Initiated Out-Patient Follow Up Appointment is a follow-up Out-Patient Appointment initiated by a PATIENT.

A Patient Initiated Out-Patient Follow Up Appointment is usually triggered by a PATIENT who is on a formal Patient Initiated Out-Patient Follow-Up Pathway, but APPOINTMENTS requested by a PATIENT who does not have this arrangement in place would also be recorded as Patient Initiated Out-Patient Follow Up Appointments.
