“…The implementation of dashboards to provide a visual display of patient information has been previously described with the source of the data being generated by the care provider 3,11 as part of the EHR. In our data set, it seems likely that the requirement of entering data in a field in order to be able to sign the note is a powerful stimulus to adherence.…”

“…Information collected and included on a dashboard may include but not be limited to overall seizure frequency, need for rescue medications, and number of medications trialed over time. An example of such a dashboard has been published by Mane et al 64 Individual, patient-tailored data collection is done to create a time lapse image in between office visits (using text, audio, and video as appropriate) which enables them to provide better care during office visits. In order to create and maintain such an infrastructure, information technology systems that are both user-friendly, HIPAA compliant, and provide data in real time are needed, as shown in Figure 2.…”
By definition, unprovoked seizures are not precipitated by an identifiable factor, such as fever or trauma. A thorough history and physical examination are essential to caring for pediatric patients with a potential first unprovoked seizure. Differential diagnosis, EEG, neuroimaging, laboratory tests, and initiation of treatment will be reviewed. Treatment is typically initiated after 2 unprovoked seizures, or after 1 seizure in select patients with distinct epilepsy syndromes. Recent expansion of the definition of epilepsy by the ILAE allows for the diagnosis of epilepsy to be made after the first seizure if the clinical presentation and supporting diagnostic studies suggest a greater than 60% chance of a second seizure. This review summarizes the current literature on the diagnostic and therapeutic management of first unprovoked seizure in children and adolescents while taking into consideration the revised diagnostic criteria of epilepsy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
