A model for ambulatory care of patients with epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
A model for ambulatory care of patients with epilepsy and other neurological disorders facilitates delivery of high quality nursing care, provides a framework for formulating standard nursing care plans and incorporates patient education components. Education and development of nurses working in this setting is fostered through caregiving activities and development of teaching materials coordinated through the model. The model can be modified to meet the needs of each patient or the requirements of various clinical research protocols and adapted to patients with non-neurological medical or surgical diagnoses.
