Next under consideration is clinical documentation, including progress reports, then musculoskeletal interventions, including data collection and assessment, interventions and phases of healing, neurological interventions, including anatomy, data collection and intervention, cardiopulmonary interventions, integumentary interventions, geriatric interventions and pediatric interventions.
