Running the Test

What this page tells you

Before testing, review the pre-op neuropsych report in EPIC, print the summary sheet, forms, and instructions, label pages INITIALS_RIDXXX_MMDDYYYY, and open the PowerPoints. Administer tests in summary-sheet order, photographing patient drawings. Afterward, update the tracker, reimburse, score, and enter scores and photos in REDCap.

Before the appointment begins:

  1. Review the patient's most recent pre-operative neuropsychology test in EPIC to determine which tests to administer
  2. Print out:
    1. Summary Sheet
    2. All score/record forms you will administer
    3. All testing instructions (file locations can be found here: Contacting+Scheduling Patients (Contacting & Scheduling Patients))
  3. At the top of each page you print, write out the patient specific ID in this format: PATIENTINITIALS_RIDXXX_TESTDATE (MMDDYYYY) (i.e. for John Doe, RID = 01, test date = 01/01/2000 → JD_RID01_01012000
  4. Open all the powerpoints you need to administer the test battery and go to the page you should start on.

During the appointment:

  1. Administer the testing battery IN ORDER according to the summary sheet, using powerpoints when necessary (indicated on the summary sheet)
    1. You will need to share/unshare your screen as needed so the patient can see the powerpoints
  2. For tests that require the patient to draw on a piece of paper, you must ask the patient to hold up the paper they have drawn to the camera so you can take a photo

After the appointment:
*Mark off on SCHEDULE TRACKERS (Scan Scheduling Trackers (sEEG, 3T/fMRI, 7T)) as you go*

  1. Reimburse the patient for participating in research Reimbursements (retired page)
  2. Calculate raw and normative scores for the tests Scoring (Scoring)
  3. Add the raw and normative scores for the tests to REDCap
  4. Upload the testing photos to REDCap
