Model Report
Report Sample
Helping physicians improve the quality of their reports is a key goal for the AANEM. The report template below is based on the AANEM’s educational paper Reporting the Results of Nerve Conduction Studies and Needle EMG. A report template helps the EDX physician adhere to and document required procedures —by checking them off a list. This process will help the EDX physician complete a thorough analysis of the patient’s history, physical, and EDX data that will improve diagnostic accuracy and result in better quality patient care. The template also will help laboratories applying for the laboratory accreditation program meet the criteria used to evaluate EDX reports. The template was developed listing the key elements for an EDX standard report excluding F-wave, H-reflex, and repetitive stimulation studies. Physicians are strongly urged to utilize this template to improve their reports.
