Standardizing Care of Neuro-oncology Patients Using a Customized Electronic Medical Record Toolkit.

Objective: To develop and implement a customized toolkit within the electronic medical record (EMR) to standardize care of patients with brain tumors.

Patients And Methods: We built a customized structured clinical documentation support toolkit to capture standardized data at office visits. We detail the process by which this toolkit was conceptualized and developed.

Longitudinal Monitoring of Parkinson's Disease in Different Ethnic Cohorts: The DodoNA and LONG-PD Study.

Different factors influence severity, progression, and outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD). Lack of standardized clinical assessment limits comparison of outcomes and availability of well-characterized cohorts for collaborative studies. Structured clinical documentation support (SCDS) was developed within the DNA Predictions to Improve Neurological Health (DodoNA) project to standardize clinical assessment and identify molecular predictors of disease progression.

Factors Affecting Cognition and Depression in Adult Patients with Epilepsy.

Background And Purpose: Epilepsy patients are more likely to experience depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment compared to individuals in the general population. As the reasons for this are not definitively known, we sought to determine what factors correlate most strongly with cognition and a screening test for depression in epilepsy patients.

Methods: Our study population included 379 adult patients diagnosed with epilepsy or seizure in our neurology clinic.
