Patient Client Management Model Quiz & Flashcards

Study Notes

Documentation in Patient/Client Management Model

Documentation includes details such as assessment findings, treatment plans, progress notes, and discharge summaries.
Accurate documentation provides a clear record of the patient's care and facilitates communication among healthcare providers.

First Step in Patient Management

The initial step involves gathering comprehensive data through evaluation and assessment of the patient’s condition.
This sets the foundation for creating an effective treatment plan.

Purpose of Obtaining Patient's History

Collecting the patient's history helps identify previous health issues, current symptoms, and potential risk factors.
It allows physiotherapists to tailor treatment strategies based on individual needs.

Patient/Client Collaboration in Treatment Plan

Collaboration involves engaging the patient in decisions regarding their care and treatment options.
It empowers the patient, ensuring that their preferences and goals are considered in the treatment process.

Establishing Diagnosis and Prognosis

The physiotherapist typically establishes a diagnosis and prognosis after completing the initial evaluation and assessment.
This determination guides the treatment approach and sets expectations for outcomes.

Components of Documentation

Key components include patient demographics, detailed clinical assessments, intervention strategies, and outcome measures.
Documentation must be thorough to support clinical decisions and provide legal protection.

Purpose of Physiotherapist's Initial Evaluation

The initial evaluation aims to create a baseline for patient condition, identify specific impairments, and set measurable goals for treatment.
It acts as a guide for monitoring progress throughout the treatment process.

Non-Components of Patient Management Process

Certain actions, such as only delivering treatments without patient input or feedback, do not constitute an effective patient management process.
Omitting collaboration limits the effectiveness of the treatment and patient satisfaction.
