The clinical encounter between the patient and the doctor is the heart of all medicine. Case reports provide a unique glimpse into the experience of of the patient and the interaction of the patient and doctor. It is also a rich source of information that can be used to improve healthcare. The NPRI solicits, collects and analyzes case reports from naturopathic clinicians, and we invite you to submit case reports from your practice to the Naturopathic Physicians Case Reports database.
A case report (or case study) is the whole picture of one case over time beginning with the patient's presentation, the treatment and outcome, a summary of the doctor’s and patient’s experience over a course of care. It may illustrate an exceptional outcome, a classical presentation, a unique event, or illustrate a clinical point. Case reports can show a therapeutic approach and help other providers understand what they might expect if they follow the same protocol.
