 EHS NRC - Information Resources
An assessment is conducted to determine the existence of a developmental delay, to identify strengths and needs, and to develop strategies for intervention.
Assessment should emphasize attention to the child's level and pattern of organizing experience and to functional capacities, which represent an integration of emotional and cognitive functioning.
Assessments should not be conducted using tools simply because they are available or because somebody on the staff is trained to use it.

 Apgar score - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Apgar score was devised in 1952 by Virginia Apgar as a simple and repeatable method to quickly and summarily assess the health of newborn children immediately after childbirth.
The Apgar score is determined by evaluating the newborn baby on five simple criteria on a scale from zero to two and summing up the five values thus obtained.
If the Apgar score remains below 3 at later times such as 10, 15, or 30 minutes, there is a risk that the child will suffer longer term neurological damage.

Pediatric trauma is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children.
In pediatric head injury, however, the increase in cerebral blood flow exceeds metabolic demand, causing the diffuse cerebral edema that is common in pediatric head injury.
The 1998 records of 10,098 children entered into the National Pediatric Trauma Registry (NPTR) were analyzed to define the characteristics of pediatric head injury and the impact of extracranial trauma on central nervous system injury.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Quality and correlates of medical record documentation in the ambulatory care setting
Documentation in the medical record facilitates diagnosis and treatment, communicates pertinent information to other caregivers to ensure patient safety and reduce medical errors, and serves an important medical-legal function in risk management [1].
Electronic medical record (EMR) systems may improve the quality of care delivered as well as the documentation of that care in the outpatient setting, but few studies have examined this issue [5,6].
Determining the correlates of quality medical record documentation could thus lead to educational programs and other interventions to improve documentation, but few studies have rigorously examined the correlates of quality of chart documentation [7].

History: Referrals regarding the question of CP are based on a history of gross motor developmental delay in the first year of life.
Motor dysfunction is most evident as infants mature; they may display delayed early gross motor milestones (e.g., head control, rolling, reaching unilaterally, sitting without support) or show an early hand preference when younger than 1.5 years, suggesting relative weakness of 1 side.
Perinatal history should include presentation of the child and delivery type, birth weight, American Pediatric Gross Assessment Record (APGAR) score, and complications in the neonatal period (eg, intubation time, use of surfactant, presence of ischemia or hemorrhage on neonatal ultrasound, feeding difficulties, apnea, bradycardia, infection, hyperbilirubinemia).
