“…A color-coded plan also may be easy to read and reference (e.g., stoplight imagery: green, under control and no/minimal action required; yellow, implement appropriate protocol; red, implement appropriate emergency protocol) [14,21]. Similar designs have been used for asthma patients [46]. An example of a potential ASAP format and graphics/color coding is provided in Fig.…”

Purpose of review: Disease-related treatment action plans for acute exacerbations providing information that may be helpful for self-management for patients and caregivers are commonly used for chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes. However, among patients with epilepsy, a review of the literature suggested that the majority did not have an action plan in place for acute seizure treatment. Recent findings: Currently, there is a lack of unified guidance on seizure action plans (SAPs) in the literature. In the authors' opinion, available formats have limitations for practical use and may not be easily customizable to individual patients, and they are not often designed to provide simple-to-follow steps for rapid immediate steps to determine and initiate appropriate treatment of seizure emergencies. Our group reviewed current examples of SAPs and provided guidance on the development of acute seizure action plans (ASAPs) designed to facilitate rapid, appropriate acute care in the community and to be as useful as possible for a wide range of care partners, including those with limited experience. Summary: This paper provides agreed upon expert opinion recommendations and considerations for goals, development process, types of content, and format for an ASAP.
