For those interested, I have a link to a publication that provides a manual for clinicians to track as objectively as possible the effects of their interventions for any condition and a complimentary manual for patients to self-monitor the effects of their treatment.
Dead simple with case examples, suitable for translation and use in any environment.
Great training and educational instrument as well (e.g., partner gets to compare themselves with the expert clinical leader).
These two pen and paper versions were based on the TRACT application “Objective skills clinical exam - Every day in the field of practice” that was reviewed in the journal Medical Teacher: https://journals.stfm.org/familymedicine/2019/may/br-may19-clark/
Anyone interested in a link may respond directly to me. The updated pen and paper version for patient self-monitoring provides the 360 degree perspective on treatment effect in the face of life events, social support and comorbidity!
Best,
Prof. Cawthorpe
