This new edition includes information on Meaningful Use legislation as well as meaningful use flow sheets and physical examination tearsheets that provide step-by-step guidelines for management and follow-up of a patient’s problem. These materials are formatted to easily fit into an electronic medical record.  This book is a valuable  curriculum outline and resource for medical students, primary care residents, physician assistants, and athletic training students.
