CHIP ruleA diagnostic prediction rule used to determine if a patient with a minor head injury would benefit from emergent CT imaging of the brain. Low-risk patients are those who have a Glascow Coma Scale (GCS) of 15, and no history of loss of consciousness, amnesia, vomiting, or generalized headache. These patients do not need neuroimaging in the Emergency Department, and can be discharged home with follow-up.

Patients with intermediate findings are considered to have medium-risk mild head injuries.
