Virtual Narrative Summary Writer

• will confirm the medical diagnosis for and document the full clinical information, including history, treatment status, and potential for recovery of the Service Member’s medical conditions that, individually or collectively or through combined effect, will prevent the Service Member from reasonably performing the duties of their office, grade, rank, or rating, and state whether each condition is cause for referral to the PEB.
• will address the impact on associated operational assignment limitations and whether the medical conditions are likely to improve sufficiently for the Service member to reasonably perform the duties of their office, grade, rank, or rating within 12 months.
• will address how the severity of the Service Member’s medical condition is likely to change within the next three years.
• will address any requirement to monitor or provide treatment for the Service Member’s chronic conditions beyond the next 12 months, and what geographic or logistical constraints such monitoring may place upon the Service Member’s assignments.
