Work-Flow & Protocols

Here are some SUGGESTED templates that can aid in your workflow and to ensure that care is standardized as far as stroke workup. Ideally the electronic documentation within (encompassing clinical decision making and DDx, investigations, and plan) can flow from the initial consult note, to daily progress notes, and to discharge planning.

• NIHSS

• In-patient progress note

• Code stroke consult note

• Discharge Summary

• Forms: 1) MOT Driving Form, 2) PDFs for healthy eating habits post-stroke

• Here's a great document on how to write neurology consult notes (click here).

Remember - Discharge Planning and starting a "Discharge Summary" starts on the day of admission!
