Template Preview
(Do not infer absence of bleeding, inhibitor negativity, adherence, or other safety-critical facts. If any safety-critical information is unknown—diagnosis/severity, inhibitor status, current regimen, allergies to factor products, patient weight for dosing, emergency plan—explicitly document as [unknown] and add a "Data to Obtain" action in the Plan. Label information provenance for key facts, e.g., [patient report], [caregiver report], [infusion log], [pharmacy fill data], [lab report], [outside records]. Omit sections not relevant to this encounter.)
Encounter Date/Time: [date and time]
Visit Type: [annual comprehensive / interim follow-up / pre-procedure planning]
Location: [clinic / telehealth]
Author(s) / Disciplines Present: [clinician names and roles]
Diagnosis Banner
- Disorder: [bleeding disorder/subtype and severity; baseline factor or VWF levels with units and date]
- Inhibitor Status: [current / remote history / never / unknown; last titer and date if applicable]
- Hemostatic Strategy: [factor prophylaxis / non-factor prophylaxis / on-demand / other]
- Vascular Access: [peripheral / CVAD type and details]
- Product Allergies: [known allergies or adverse reactions / none known / unknown]
Safety Flags
[on emicizumab / inhibitor history / FIX anaphylaxis risk / on anticoagulation or antiplatelet / pregnant or postpartum / upcoming procedure / product allergy] (Include only flags that apply. Omit entire section if none.)
Chief Concern
[Brief reason for visit in 1–2 lines]
Interval History
[Narrative since last HTC visit including: interval length; bleeding events—sites, triggers, severity, treatments used, response, ED/hospital utilization; regimen experience—adherence, missed doses, barriers, goals; pain and functional status; procedures since last visit or planned; reproductive health concerns if applicable] (Label information sources. Do not assume adherence or absence of bleeding—document what was reported.)
Current Hemostatic Regimen
Standing Regimen: [product name, route, dose, frequency, timing strategy; patient weight with date if dose is weight-based; home infusion status and caregiver involvement]
Adherence: [assessment with source: patient report / infusion log review / pharmacy fill data; quantification if available; barriers identified]
Breakthrough Bleed Plan: [patient-specific home instructions for joint/muscle bleeds, mucosal bleeding, significant trauma; HTC contact instructions]
Objective
Vitals: [weight with date, BP, HR as relevant]
Exam: [general appearance; skin—bruising/hematomas; oral mucosa; musculoskeletal—joint swelling, ROM, gait; neurologic screening; vascular access site if applicable; pertinent negatives] (For telehealth, document observable elements only.)
Data Reviewed: [relevant factor levels, inhibitor assays, VWF studies, CBC/iron studies, imaging—include dates and provenance] (For patients on emicizumab, specify assay type for FVIII activity and inhibitor testing.)
Assessment and Plan
(Problem-oriented format in order of clinical severity. For each problem: brief assessment with key supporting evidence, explicit plan including regimen changes, monitoring with timing, referrals, education, and shared decision-making documentation. Add "Data to Obtain" for any unknown safety-critical information.)
[Problem 1]: [diagnosis or clinical issue]
Assessment: [brief synthesis with key supporting facts]
Plan: [regimen/treatment changes; monitoring with timing and assay type; referrals; education provided; shared decision-making; data to obtain if applicable]
[Problem 2]: [diagnosis or clinical issue]
Assessment: [brief synthesis]
Plan: [as above]
Peri-Procedure Planning
(Include only for pre-procedure planning visits.)
Procedure: [type, date, location, team]
Hemostatic Plan: [pre-, intra-, post-procedure dosing; antifibrinolytics; duration; assay monitoring with timing]
Coordination: [medication holds; perioperative contacts; ED plan; product availability confirmed]
Individualized Emergency Plan
- HTC Contact: [24/7 phone number; after-hours instructions]
- Head Trauma/Neurologic Symptoms: [treat immediately before imaging when serious bleeding suspected; specific dosing]
- Joint/Muscle Bleed: [home treatment steps; thresholds for ED evaluation]
- Mucosal Bleeding: [antifibrinolytic instructions if prescribed]
- Therapy-Specific Cautions: [preferred agents; contraindicated agents; unreliable lab assays] (Include for non-factor prophylaxis or inhibitor patients.)
- Travel Preparedness: [emergency doses on hand: yes/no; updated ED/travel letter: yes/no]
Follow-Up
Next Visit: [interval and visit type]
Pre-visit Labs: [studies to obtain and timeframe]
Pending: [referrals or records to obtain]
Discipline-Specific Summaries
(Include only for disciplines that participated today.)
Nursing: [education; care coordination; safety review]
Physical Therapy: [joint assessments; HJHS/ROM findings; exercise plan]
Social Work: [psychosocial assessment; insurance/access; school/work accommodations]
Pharmacy: [product counseling; adherence review; supply logistics]
