The art of the consultation note.
Inherent in the consultation process is the ability to communicate effectively, yet little emphasis is placed on written communication through consultation notes. The art of writing a consultation note is learned primarily through trial and error or by master/apprentice relationships with senior practitioners. This paper reviews the types of consultations in which advanced practitioners are involved and presents a format for preparing a comprehensive consultation note.
