(always insert this section on tele health consults) LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS: [Insert details] HYPERCOAGULABLE WORKUP: [Insert details] THROMBOSIS IMAGING: [Insert details] IMPRESSION: [insert impression]. [Provide a formal thrombosis-focused impression based solely on information from the encounter. Do NOT include family history. Do NOT add unrelated diagnoses.] PLAN: [PLAN_SUMMARY_PARAGRAPH] (Write a single formal paragraph summarizing today’s management plan in complete sentences. Include: anticoagulant name + dose + duration/next step; key rationale; follow-up testing; follow-up interval. Do NOT use bullet points in this paragraph. Do NOT add new information that was not stated in the encounter.) [PLAN_BULLETS] (Then list the plan as numbered bullet points. Each bullet begins with a verb. Keep items concise and action-oriented. If a plan item is not addressed today, do not include it.) [PLAN_SUMMARY_PARAGRAPH] (Use the same tone as a specialist thrombosis consult letter. Avoid patient-friendly terms. Use DVT/PE/CTPA/VQ/US. No speculation. No generic safety-net unless discussed.) 1. [Insert plan details] [Title]. [Patient Last Name] has tolerated anticoagulation well with no evidence of bleeding. Venous thrombosis symptoms present at the time of the presentation have improved. [Title]. [Patient Last Name] continues to be a good candidate for DOAC. The renal function is stable. There is no evidence of hepatic impairment. There are no drug-drug interactions. 2.DISCUSSION / COUNSELLING: [COUNSELLING_MODULES] (Only include modules that were explicitly discussed during today’s encounter. If a topic was not discussed, omit that module entirely.) Then add modules like these: 1) High-risk sports / trauma risk module (skiing, contact sports, etc.) [COUNSELLING_HIGH_RISK_ACTIVITY] (Include ONLY if clinician counselled on high-risk activity/sports while anticoagulated. Individualize to the patient’s stated activities (e.g., skiing, hockey, mountain biking). Write 3–5 sentences in formal tone. Include: rationale (trauma/bleeding risk on anticoagulation), specific examples relevant to patient, safer alternatives if mentioned, and what to do if trauma/head injury occurs if discussed. Do not over-warn; keep proportional.) Spoken anchor for you (one-liner): “Counselling: anticoagulation and high-risk activity — we discussed avoiding [skiing/hockey/etc.] while anticoagulated.” I provided the patient with education on the importance of taking the anticoagulant consistently and what to do if [he/she] misses a dose. I recommend holding [Insert anticoagulant] for 2 full days prior to any invasive procedure or surgery. Post-procedural resumption of anticoagulation will depend on postoperative risk of bleeding. If there are any questions or concerns about periprocedural management of anticoagulation, please feel free to contact me. We also discussed strategies to mitigate the risks of bleeding. The patient is not on any non-essential antiplatelet agent or NSAIDS. I recommend avoiding high-risk behaviors such as excess alcohol use or extreme sports. 3.) Missed dose / adherence module [COUNSELLING_ADHERENCE_MISSED_DOSE] (Include ONLY if adherence or missed-dose instructions were discussed. Summarize instructions provided (what to do if a dose is missed) and reinforce consistent dosing.) Spoken anchor: “Counselling: adherence and missed-dose plan.” 4.4) Bleeding red flags / ER precautions module [COUNSELLING_BLEEDING_PRECAUTIONS] (Include ONLY if bleeding precautions were discussed. Individualize to what was emphasized (e.g., hematuria with clots, GI bleeding, head injury). Keep to 2–4 sentences.) Spoken anchor: “Counselling: bleeding precautions and when to present to ER.” The patient should go to the emergency department if there is a concern for recurrent venous thromboembolism or bleeding. The signs and symptoms of DVT, PE and bleeding were reviewed with the patient today. Thank you for the opportunity to be involved in their care. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
