Sample AI-Generated Neurology Note
See how PatientNotes documents an acute stroke evaluation
SUBJECTIVE: 68-year-old male with history of hypertension and atrial fibrillation presents with acute onset right-sided weakness and speech difficulty. Symptoms began at 09:15 this morning while eating breakfast. Wife witnessed sudden drooping of right face and inability to lift right arm. Last known normal was 09:00. Patient transported by EMS, arrived at 10:05. Current medications: Apixaban 5mg BID, lisinopril 20mg daily, metoprolol 50mg BID. OBJECTIVE: Vital Signs: BP 165/92, HR 88 irregular, RR 16, O2 sat 97% on RA Time of exam: 10:20 NIH Stroke Scale: 8 - 1a. LOC: 0 (alert) - 1b. LOC Questions: 0 (answers both correctly) - 1c. LOC Commands: 0 (performs both correctly) - 2. Best Gaze: 0 (normal) - 3. Visual: 0 (no visual field defect) - 4. Facial Palsy: 2 (severe right lower facial weakness) - 5. Motor Arm - Left: 0, Right: 3 (right arm drifts down, cannot resist gravity) - 6. Motor Leg - Left: 0, Right: 1 (right leg drifts) - 7. Limb Ataxia: 0 - 8. Sensory: 1 (mild sensory loss on right) - 9. Best Language: 1 (mild-moderate aphasia) - 10. Dysarthria: 1 (mild slurring) - 11. Extinction/Inattention: 0 Neurological Examination: Mental Status: Alert, mildly aphasic with word-finding difficulty Cranial Nerves: Right central facial palsy (VII), otherwise intact Motor: Right upper extremity 3/5 throughout, right lower extremity 4/5, left side 5/5 Sensory: Decreased light touch and pinprick on right Reflexes: 2+ throughout, right plantar extensor Coordination: Unable to assess on right due to weakness Gait: Deferred ASSESSMENT: Acute ischemic stroke, left MCA territory, NIHSS 8. Patient within tPA window (symptom onset 09:15, current time 10:20 = 65 minutes). On anticoagulation with apixaban. PLAN: 1. STAT CT head and CTA head/neck ordered (10:22) 2. Neurology stroke team activated 3. Labs: CBC, CMP, PT/INR, PTT, troponin sent 4. Hold apixaban, discuss tPA vs. thrombectomy with interventional neuro after imaging 5. Admit to stroke unit with continuous neuro checks 6. Discuss risks/benefits of thrombolytic therapy with patient and family 7. Time-critical: Door-to-needle goal <60 minutes if tPA candidate

Frequently Asked Questions
Can PatientNotes document complete neurological examinations?
Yes. PatientNotes captures comprehensive neurological exams including mental status, cranial nerves (I-XII), motor, sensory, reflexes, coordination, gait, and special tests. The AI uses proper terminology and grading scales (e.g., 0-5 motor strength, 0-4+ reflexes).
Does PatientNotes support NIH Stroke Scale documentation?
Yes. PatientNotes can document NIHSS scores with automatic calculation and tracking over time. It also supports other stroke-specific tools like mRS, ASPECTS, and time-based metrics critical for tPA eligibility.
How does PatientNotes handle seizure documentation?
PatientNotes has specialized templates for seizure documentation including semiology, duration, post-ictal state, aura description, and seizure classification. It tracks medication levels, treatment changes, and seizure frequency over time.
Can PatientNotes track disease progression in chronic neurological conditions?
Yes. PatientNotes tracks EDSS scores for MS, UPDRS for Parkinson's, and other disease-specific scales. It can compare current findings to prior visits and flag significant changes requiring intervention.
