Online help for epilepsy issues
Internet center addresses health/quality of life
The Epilepsy Foundation in Washington, DC, recently launched the Online Center for Clinical Care, an Internet-based resource for health care providers working with individuals with epilepsy.
The center is the product of epilepsy experts on the foundation’s professional advisory board. It is organized into the following five categories:
• assessment;
• planning;
• treatment;
• populations;
• resources.
"The Online Center recognizes that epilepsy is more than treating seizures, and the disorder has far-reaching effects on every facet of a person’s life," says Tracy A. Glauser, MD, associate professor of pediatrics and neurology and director of the Children’s Comprehensive Epilepsy Program at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, who chaired the development group. "The site consolidates information on issues ranging from alternative therapies to matter of education, employment and family planning. We are unaware of any similar online epilepsy information resource created for allied health professionals."
The Online Center can be accessed at www.epilepsyfoundation.org/clinicalcare/.
