    Figure 1 Outpatient Neurology Palliative Care Process Map for Established Patient Visits

    The process map details the flow for an average established patient visiting the neurology PC outpatient clinic. The process map documents each activity (rectangles), the personnel type assigned to the activity (color codes), and the average time to complete the activity in minutes (circles). The top row of rectangles is an example of the complete cycle of care of a patient with PD through the University of Colorado neurology PC clinic. The middle boxes detail the specifics of each patient interaction and include small circles to indicate the number of minutes spent with each patient. The color within each bubble indicates the time spent with each provider. Within each activity, patients may see both or only one of the providers listed in the activity box. PC = palliative care; PD = Parkinson disease.
