Impact of the implementation of the AAN epilepsy quality measures on the medical records in a university hospital.

Background: The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) suggested eight quality measures to be observed at every patient visit. The aim of this work is to compare the percentage of documentation of each measure before and after the implementation of a new worksheet in a third-level center.

Methods: Quasi-experimental study including medical records filled by medical school seniors and junior residents supervised by an epileptologist.
