Book Reviews of Primary Care Tools for Clinicians: A Compendium of Forms, Questionnaires, and Rating Scales for Everyday Practice

Book Review: Useful guide
Summary: 4 Stars

The book as advertised provides a wide assortment of pre-made medical forms and surveys useful in daily practice. Of true value were the assortment of pediatric wellness sheets. The forms are generally modifiable for personal use, however, the PDF files were difficult to work around. The fixed, non-modifiable aspects of spacing and headings became an issue for some forms. This was a time saver for starting up an initial low budget practice that cannot afford an electronic medical record.
