Emerging Perspectives in Medical Case Report Writing: How Guidelines Support Inclusion of Patient-Reported Outcomes

Chad Wickman Auburn University

Abstract

This article examines the patient perspective as an emerging feature of medical case report writing, and through analysis of technical reporting guidelines and a corpus of published reports, shows how the biomedical community incorporates patient-authored perspectives into processes of research and publication. The author concludes by discussing the value and complexities of patient inclusion efforts and the potential for scholars of rhetoric and technical communication to take part in shaping those efforts.
