    Summary: This book brings together all the relevant available science behind face transplants. It is comprehensive in its coverage, encompassing patient and donor evaluation, ethics, legal issues, psychological issues, types of transplant, surgical technique, issues relating to immunosuppression, follow-up protocols, and current outcomes. Facial transplantation, which allows the replacement of missing anatomy with a perfect match based on transplant medicine principles, has become the most striking innovation in plastic surgery of the twenty-first century as surgeons and scientists progress from reconstructive surgery to restorative surgery. A robust team approach is, however, necessary to produce safe and efficient outcomes, and numerous questions are arising, from technical issues to ethical dilemmas. The reader will discover in this volume all the information required in order to understand this new discipline and to be able to set up a program of facial transplantation.

    This study was designed to determine the extent to which the medical record contained evidence of coordination of care. Coordination of care was defined as the recognition of information (problems, therapies, intervening visits and tests) about patients from one visit to a follow-up visit. Overall, there was concordance between the medical record and independent observation of the physician-patient interaction in 70-85 per cent of instances. When there was clear indication that the practitioner recognized the information, the chart contained evidence of this recognition 68-85 per cent of the time, depending on the type of information. However, if the information was highly salient, the record contained evidence of recognition in a much greater percentage of intances: 95 per cent for distinctly identified problems, 83 per cent for problems which were contained within the text of progress notes, 96 per cent for major drugs, and 94 per cent for abnormal tests. The data from this study support the less direct evidence of others that the medical record adequately reflects extent of recognition of important information about patients by practitioners.
