Alcohol Screen Due yearly for all patients.
 
The AUDIT-C is needed on all patients on a yearly basis.  A reminder term 
is included in this reminder VA-ALCOHOL USE SCREEN to represent entries 
of the AUDIT-C as health factors or exams or for health factors that 
represent NO ALCOHOL IN THE PAST YEAR.  After 1/1/08, this term is not 
used to resolve the reminder and the AUDIT-C tool in the MH package must 
be used.
