| Abstract |
|
Epilepsy is characterized by transient events rarely witnessed during outpatient visits, making thorough history-taking essential for clinical decision-making. In Korea, extremely limited visit durations amplify practice variation and increase the risk of missing safetycritical information. This article presents practical recommendations for the use of electronic health record templates in adult epilepsy outpatient care based on Korean epilepsy common data elements. These recommendations were developed from the Korean epilepsy common data elements consensus study and guidebook, together with relevant international literature, standardized classification systems, and expert discussion. The recommended template is structured into three visit types: initial evaluation, routine follow-up, and periodic reassessment. For the initial evaluation, priorities include reconstructing the index event, identifying modifiable precipitants, reviewing antiseizure medication history, assessing comorbidities, and addressing safety issues such as driving risk. Follow-up documentation should focus on seizure control, interval changes, treatment response, adverse effects, potential triggers, and the clinical rationale for treatment maintenance or modification. Periodic reassessment is recommended when the clinical course is unexpected, diagnostic uncertainty persists, or treatment resistance is suspected. Use of a standardized Korean epilepsy common data element-based template may improve consistency of outpatient documentation, support continuity of care, and provide a practical framework for clinical decision making. Wider implementation through resources provided by the Korean Epilepsy Society may also facilitate multicenter research and quality improvement. |
