Specialist Link: New concussions pathways, dermatology update

New Calgary Zone pathways are now available to guide concussion assessment, diagnosis, and management in adults:

• The acute concussion pathway is designed for patients in the initial four weeks following injury, including geriatric and pregnant patients.
• The persisting post-concussion symptoms pathway is for when the patient is still symptomatic at more than 12 weeks post-injury — unless it’s the first presentation.

If symptoms persist beyond three months, referral for specialized assessment and/or interdisciplinary concussion services or clinics may be indicated.

Dermatology tele-advice: Effective Monday, March 3, dermatology tele-advice will no longer be available on Specialist Link. Providers seeking non-urgent advice can request eReferral Consults (related resources).
