PaJR checklist for inpatient interns in medicine department

PaJR initiation checklist:


1) History sequence of events link in description box 
2) Clinical images of visceral fat and muscle mass (preferably standing lateral and ap views) 

3) Available Radiology of the patient's problem (anatomic diagnosis) 


4) Available electrophysiology (physio-logic diagnosis) 


5) Relevant blood and fluid biochemistry (biochemical diagnosis) 


6) Representative image in the DP 


7) Patient project description (each and every PaJR is part of a ProJR). ProJR is project journey record that contains many PaJRs


8) Title : Age, gender example 26M Involuntary movements (always mention duration), Telangana, PaJR


9) One needs to upload all the PaJR updates sequentially into the case report and then email the final image of the signed informed consent form downloadable from http://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2020/05/informed-patient-consent-and.html?m=1

The case reporter needs to ensure that the informed consent is signed by each of their logged patients and emailed  to this address:  informedconsentpajr@gmail.com asap and ensure that s/he gets a reply to that email 

The signed informed consent needs to be emailed along with the patient's signature, their name and complete contact details along with signature and contact details of witness along with the case report and PaJR link in that email else the people who are archiving this data will not be able to correlate who's it is 

10) Always share this graphical timeline for every inpatient (and if possible for our outpatients with regular follow up) regardless of their fever status as this is also a quick graphical timeline of the patient's soap and not just the fever 👇


11) Please ask the patient to describe his entire day through hourly activities (energy expenditure)  with details particularly when he was alright and what happened hourly on the days the symptoms reappeared and started disturbing his daily hourly routine every hour.

Please share that here

A simple skeletal format that can be improvised upon is linked here :


12) Inpatient PaJR 

Share the fever chart asap to allow us to understand at a glance what we have done and found differently each day since ../../23 asap

13) OSCE medical education integration of PaJR practice  workflow :

OSCE points and questions common for all that all must be prepared to answer in their patients:

What bothers your patient the most and what are his active concerns? 


List the problems in your patient in order of patient priorities and requirements 

Sequence of events :
