THE CHRONIC DISEASE FLOW SHEET IN AMBULATORY PEDIATRICS

Barton D. Schmitt M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado Medical Center, Denver, Colorado

The comprehensive management of chronic diseases can be very taxing on the pediatrician. One of the more difficult aspects is how to locate the pertinent data, both past and current, necessary for making medical decisions. The chronic disease flow sheet provides a system for easier monitoring of the multiple interacting variables present in chronic diseases. General recommendations are offered for designing new flow sheets. Sample flow sheets are included as working models for 19 common chronic conditions. The value of chronic disease flow sheets in patient care, teaching, and clinical research is discussed.
