Physio Documentation

Mandatory first reads

Read safety core and documentation framework. Use only facts provided or clearly derived calculations. Mark missing items; never fabricate a finding, consent, treatment, response, time, signature, or clinician identity.

Workflow

1. Identify document type and purpose. Initial assessment, encounter note, re-examination/progress, discharge, referral/consult, handoff, incident/adverse event, or patient-facing summary.
2. Establish jurisdiction, setting, role, and audience. Legal, payer, coding, signature, retention, consent, and scope rules vary. Do not assume US or Turkish requirements apply elsewhere.
3. Minimize data. Remove unnecessary identifiers from the drafting context. Use placeholders instead of real identifying data whenever possible.
4. Separate information types. Patient-reported history, observed/measured findings, clinician interpretation, actions performed, response, and future plan must remain distinguishable.
5. Preserve traceability. Link finding → clinical interpretation → goal → intervention/education → response → outcome measure → next decision.
6. Document safety. Screening relevant to the presentation, escalation/referral, precautions, adverse events, stop criteria, and safety-net. Do not use boilerplate to imply an examination was completed.
7. Document dosage actually delivered. Mode, body region/task, intensity/load, volume/time, assistance, equipment, supervision, modifications, and patient response—not only planned dose.
8. Document education and consent accurately. Topic, options/risks discussed, decision, interpreter/caregiver involvement, teach-back or demonstration, and unresolved barrier. Do not state informed consent unless it occurred and met local requirements.
9. Track outcomes. Instrument/version, conditions, score/unit/direction, clinically relevant comparison, goal status, and whether change exceeds error/importance only when supported.
10. Explain plan changes. Continue, progress, regress, hold, refer, or discharge with the evidence from the encounter and patient preference.
11. Run an integrity check. Internal consistency, chronology, units, laterality, copied-forward text, contradictory findings, unsupported diagnosis, prohibited abbreviation, and missing authentication fields.
12. Return a draft label. Make clear that the responsible clinician must verify, edit, and authenticate the final record.

Non-negotiable boundaries

• Do not backdate, fabricate, copy a previous normal finding, or imply a service occurred.
• Never submit or authenticate billing. Draft a possible code only when current jurisdiction/payer rules and the documented facts are verified, label it for authorized review, and never use a code to imply an undocumented service. Do not create legal certification, work/sport/driving clearance, or payer compliance claims.
• Do not reproduce full copyrighted forms or scale items.
• Do not expose identifiers to web search or external tools.
• A polished note cannot repair an unsafe or unsupported clinical decision; flag the issue.

Output

1. DRAFT — clinician verification required
2. Document header with placeholders only
3. Relevant history/status
4. Objective findings and standardized measures
5. Assessment/clinical reasoning and safety status
6. Interventions/education and actual dose
7. Response/adverse events
8. Goal and outcome progress
9. Plan, referral, reassessment, and safety-net
10. Missing/contradictory information and jurisdiction checks
