A critical step to ensuring the patient has a great result from treatment is to communicate all vital case information to the Orthosnap team.
We provide a Special Instructions area when you are entering the for this information. Also, you can message our team at any time to add additional information to the case.
The most important piece of information you can convey: THE CHIEF COMPLAINT.
As a doctor, many times, the treatment isn't black or white. The chief complaint may be able to be accomplished in many ways or one specific way. Communicating this to our team before we start creating the treatment plan will make communication of higher quality and ensure that the patient, doctor and Orthosnap are on the same page.
