How to use this module

This is a disease OVERLAY: it layers disease-specific skilled documentation on top of the body-system reference named below. Use it with that system module, not instead of it. Every model note is a scaffold to edit to the shift and the resident’s orders; the universal writing rules live in Foundations and are not reprinted. Verify parameters and citations against the current source.
