Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model01:15

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records

Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:
Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...
Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...
Methods of Documentation III: PIE01:21

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:
Assumptions of Survival Analysis01:15

Assumptions of Survival Analysis

Survival models analyze the time until one or more events occur, such as death in biological organisms or failure in mechanical systems. These models are widely used across fields like medicine, biology, engineering, and public health to study time-to-event phenomena. To ensure accurate results, survival analysis relies on key assumptions and careful study design.

Summary

Discussion of sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) risk is rarely documented in epilepsy patient records. Documented discussions were more common in patients with generalized tonic-clonic seizures, indicating a focus on modifiable risk factors.

Stereo-Electro-Encephalo-Graphy (SEEG) With Robotic Assistance in the Presurgical Evaluation of Medical Refractory Epilepsy: A Technical Note

Published on: June 13, 2016

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Epilepsy Research
  • Clinical Practice Evaluation

Background:

  • Sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is an uncommon but significant concern in epilepsy management.
  • Clinical practice regarding SUDEP risk discussion varies, despite guidelines recommending essential information sharing.
  • Previous studies indicate inconsistent approaches to discussing SUDEP risk with patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the documentation of SUDEP risk discussions in epilepsy patient records.
  • To determine if documented SUDEP discussions correlate with identified SUDEP risk factors.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of clinical case notes was conducted.
  • The study included patients with a confirmed epilepsy diagnosis attending clinic between January 1, 2009, and June 30, 2009.

Main Results:

  • Only 4% (14/345) of cases showed documented discussions about SUDEP.
  • Patients with ongoing generalized tonic-clonic seizures were statistically more likely to have SUDEP discussions documented.
  • A trend suggested that non-compliant patients were also more likely to have SUDEP risk discussed.

Conclusions:

  • Documented SUDEP discussions primarily occurred in patients with potentially modifiable risk factors.
  • The majority of epilepsy cases reviewed lacked documented evidence of SUDEP risk being discussed.
  • Current clinical practice appears to under-document SUDEP risk communication, despite its importance.
