In creating the level 1 diagram, it may not be necessary to explicitly list each data item coming from the data store. Instead, a general data flow such as 'Patient Details' can be used to indicate the retrieval of data from the data store. This provides a more simplified and concise diagram without sacrificing the necessary information for the process.
