The Association of Child Neurology Nurses has developed a collection of Child Neurology Encounter Guides for common neurology conditions. The topics include epilepsy, alteration of consciousness, paroxysmal involuntary movements, headache, post-concussion, tic disorders, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. The guides easily lead registered nurses, doctors of nursing practice, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, physician assistants, rotating medical students, and residents through an in-person or electronic child neurology encounter. This three-part toolkit- with educational topic overviews, quick reference pocket guides, and data collection tools-is ideal for educational training, protocol development, and quality management. Whether implemented in a private, managed care, or tertiary-level practice, the Child Neurology Encounter Guides can enhance patient evaluation and management efficiency, maximize the child neurology provider's time, and provide patients with access to "real-time" health care interventions.

Innovative, multidisciplinary and collaborative practice models are part of the solution to improving access to child neurology care. This is especially critical in light of the rising cost of health care and the need to thoughtfully utilize resources. Telephone management is one strategy for providing care to children with complex chronic illness, but must be done by skilled clinicians with specialized child neurology training. The Association of Child Neurology Nurses has developed a collection of Child Neurology Telephone Encounter Guides with an emphasis on process oriented rather than acute triage and a focus on nursing case and care management. They easily guide the new or less experienced registered nurse, advanced practice clinician (PNP, CNS or PA), rotating medical student or resident efficiently through a child neurology telephone encounter. The educational topic overviews, quick reference pocket guides and data collection tools are ideal for educational training, protocol development and quality management. Julie Sprague-McRae, MS, RN, PNP-BC, has 34 years of nursing experience and background in educational program development for nurses, physicians and patients. She is a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with Kaiser Permanente's Department of Neurology in Fremont, California and the Director of Clinical Practice for the Association of Child Neurology Nurses.

Primary health care providers such as pediatricians and family medicine physicians commonly encounter children with neurologic symptoms such as headache, double vision, facial weakness etc. Most books currently available in the specialty of pediatric neurology are “condition” or “disorder” based, and most of them are geared towards pediatric neurologists, not generalists who take care of children. A common thread amongst most currently available books in Pediatric Neurology is that the practitioner already knows what “condition” or “disorder” the child is suffering from. This book focuses on symptoms to a large extent. However, children with chronic neurological conditions will follow up with their primary care physicians after their visit with the sub-specialists. They may have questions or ongoing concerns regarding the diagnosis that has been made or being considered. This book attempts to provide information to the primary care physician regarding management and follow up of such children as well. This book serves as a guide for busy clinicians who take care of children presenting with neurological symptoms- with special emphasis on symptoms that are commonly encountered in clinical practice. For each symptom, a brief introduction is given as well as a definition and epidemiologic information for the given symptom. Readers are also instructed on what historical features and physical examinations are essential in narrowing the differential diagnosis. A recommendation on the management of the condition is then established. Instructions on when one should refer the patient to subspecialists for further evaluation and management are clearly laid out. Finally, a list of appropriate resources is provided for families, as well as clinical pearls that can be quickly scanned when one is pressed for time. The overarching goal of this book is to enable the primary care physician to make a confident diagnosis, triage efficiently and initiate treatment if need be. Written by experts in the field, Symptom-Based Approach to Pediatric Neurology is a valuable resource for evaluation and management of children presenting with neurologic symptoms for primary care providers who take care of children.
