ABSTRACT
Patients' records are often bulky and unwieldy, necessitating the creation of summaries. A structured summary format adds the advantage of improved organization and easier retrieval of information. However, typical clinical summary formats do not document intermediate deductions linking symptomatology to diagnosis and to that extent fall short of tracking the cognition process of the clinician. The Clinical Summary and Reasoning Format of the Faculties of Paediatrics of the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria and the West African College of Physicians was designed to track the clinical thought and reasoning processes of clinicians. It consists of two major sections. The first section is for documenting data from history, physical examination and early laboratory reports while the second section is for recording hierarchical deductions on the way to reaching various levels of diagnosis. Definitions and descriptions of the various components of the format are herein presented. The usefulness of the format for clinical practice, clinical training and assessment of trainees is discussed.
Les dossiers des patients sont souvent volumineux et peu maniables, ce qui nécessite la création de résumés. Un format de résumé structuré offre l'avantage d'une meilleure organisation et d'une récupération plus facile de l'information. Cependant, les formats de résumé clinique typiques ne documentent pas les déductions intermédiaires reliant la symptomatologie au diagnostic et, dans cette mesure, ne permettent pas de suivre le processus cognitif du clinicien. Le format de résumé clinique et de raisonnement des facultés de pédiatrie du National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria et du West African College of Physicians a été conçu pour suivre la pensée clinique et les processus de raisonnement des cliniciens. Il se compose de deux sections principales. La première section sert à documenter les données provenant de l'histoire, de l'examen physique et des premiers rapports de laboratoire, tandis que la seconde section sert à enregistrer les déductions hiérarchiques permettant d'atteindre les différents niveaux de diagnostic. Les définitions et les descriptions des différents composants du format sont présentées ici. L'utilité du format pour la pratique clinique, la formation clinique et l'évaluation des stagiaires est discutée. Mots clés Cognition, Résumé clinique, Raisonnement clinique, Format, Diagnostic.
