personal and family medical history useful for individual patient

is administered at the initial visit to establish a baseline of

When to administer this assessment
No protocol exists for the administration of the INFOCore. We
suggest administration of a baseline assessment early after diagnosis,
then regularly until the patient's condition stabilizes. Cumulative
and trended information will help the physician evaluate the patient's
adjustment to the disease and adoption of a self-care regimes.
