What clinical tool is most associated with neurologists?
Searching the record for "supranuclear gaze palsy" yields no matching results. Your answer will be?
Yes, no, questionable, or not documented?
Not documented

Health Sciences research
What does PSP stand for?

What is the most common movement disorder?

A movement disorders specialist diagnoses the patient with PD in 2008. A neurologist follows up in 2021 with the same diagnosis. Who would be the source of parkinsonism diagnosis?
The movement disorders specialist, as they are more specialized than the neurologist, even if the neurologist supported the diagnosis more recently.
How long has Allan been specializing in movement disorder?
20 years
What does eCR stand for?
electronic Case Reporting
Who was governor when California made PD a reportable diagnosis?
Schwarzenger
What is the most common neurodegenerative disorder?
Alzheimer's (Parkinson's is second)
If a chart search shows an MRI report indicates a lack of "encephalitis" and no clinical notes mention encephalitis, the best answer would be?
Yes, no, questionable, or not documented?
The best answer would be "No" because there is a documented lack of encephalitis. It is unusual for only an MRI report to show this - so questionable/not documented are acceptable. (This is where comments will be useful!!)
How many team members are in the UCE-PD team?
~16
What does PEG stand for?
Parkinson Environment Gene Study
Patients and Primary Care Physicians (PCP)
Who is the most famous Austrian neurologist?
Sigmund Freud
A neurologist note documents that patient has tremor that could be early PD or Essential Tremor, and leans towards Essential Tremor as the clinical impression. What is the primary parkinson's diagnosis?
Parkinson's Disease, because, assuming the neurologist note is reasonably recent, PD is under active consideration as the parkinsonism impression. Essential Tremor is not a parkinsonism diagnosis.
How many states have team members been in during the pandemic?
5 (Massachusettes, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, California)
What does NNCSS stand for?
National Neurological Conditions Surveillance System
What is EJ's home department?
HIMS (Health Information Management Services)
What did James Parkinson do (besides describing PD in 1817)?
surgeon, geologist/paleontologist
A search in the record for "hallucinations" shows multiple records after the first 3 years documenting that the patient did not have hallucinations. The best answer for this would be?
Yes, no, questionable, or not documented?
Not documented. If there is no documentation of hallucinations within the 3 year timeframe, it means they were NOT DOCUMENTED, even if later records show the patient has not had any hallucinations.
