Example of a Clinical Scenario

A patient comes into your office.  He is a 50 year old Caucasian male who has just been told his total cholesterol is 240 at the health fair and his LDL was 160 and HDL was 40.
 
“I know you will want to put me on one of those ‘statin’ drugs…I just don’t want to do that yet.  Is there anything I can take over the counter?  One of my friends was telling me about garlic…”

Step 1: Secure Demographics of Requestor

  • Who is asking the question?
  • How do they want the response delivered?
  • When do they need the response/answer?
  • What resources has the requestor already utilized?
