Background and Purpose: Standardized electronic medical record tools provide an opportunity to efficiently provide care that conforms to Best Practices and supports quality improvement and practice-based research initiatives.Methods: We describe the development of a customized structured clinical documentation "toolkit" that standardizes patient data collection to conform to Best Practices for treating patients with stroke. The toolkit collects patients' demographic information, relevant score test measures, and captures information on disability, treatment, and outcomes.Results: We describe here our creation and implementation of the toolkits and provide example screenshots. As of August 1, 2018, we have evaluated 2332 patients at an initial visit for a possible stroke. We provide basic descriptive data gathered from the use of the toolkits, demonstrating their utility in collecting patient data in a manner that supports both quality clinical care and research initiatives.Conclusions: We have developed an EMR toolkit to support Best Practices in the care of patients with stroke. We discuss quality improvement projects and current research initiatives using the toolkit. This toolkit is being shared with other Departments of Neurology as part of the Neurology Practice-Based Research Network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on Gustaf Britsch's theory of visual arts. It is stated that Britsch's initial findings in the field of art education were not fully realized during his lifetime, and were later interpreted by his student Egon Kornmann, and published in 1926. Britsch started his career as a student of fine arts and architecture in 1898 in Stuttgart, Germany. According to Britsch's theory, art is a communication of what is conceived and visually understood. The theory states that in visual arts, the perception of an artist is restructured into a unified image, which is visually communicated through symbols and structures.
