Briefing
Vertical — Physiotherapy

Pre-visit intake, in a physio’s language.

STarT Back risk, a 0–10 pain score and one functional-impact line — captured adaptively, ranked, and waiting on your screen before the patient sits down. GP, dental and chiro mirror this build, each in its own clinical vocabulary.

What we capture for a low-back-pain visit

  • STarT Back — The validated risk tool, so psychosocial risk is on the page — not discovered late.
  • 0–10 NRS pain score — A simple severity signal the patient sets themselves.
  • One functional-impact line — What the pain is actually stopping them doing, in their words.
The artefact

Jordan’s brief — and how it reads down the day list.

Always the same shape: a one-line situation, an always-present red-flag banner, three ranked issues, the patient’s goal on its own line, and a footer that keeps self-report labelled as self-report.

ISBAR pre-visit brief

Jordan Michaels · 34

Physiotherapy · Low back pain · 3 weeks ↑
20-sec read

Situation. 34-year-old, mechanical low back pain for 3 weeks, gradually worsening, no leg symptoms below the knee. Here for a first physio assessment.

No red flags reported
Screened for cauda equina, unexplained weight loss, night pain and recent trauma — all negative.
Top 3 — ranked, not exhaustive
  1. Mechanical LBP, worse with sitting & lifting, eased by walking. NRS 6/10
  2. STarT Back: medium risk — fear it is something serious, now avoiding activity.
  3. Sleep disrupted — waking 2–3× a night from discomfort.
Patient's goal (what they want)

“Run a half-marathon in 10 weeks — and stop worrying it’s serious.”

Tried: ibuprofen (some relief), rest, heat pack. May want to explore: graded return to activity, reassurance on the STarT psychosocial score, sleep.

Medications, allergies & full transcript — patient-reported
Meds: ibuprofen 400mg PRN (self-reported). Allergies: none reported. All items unverified self-report — not reconciled against records.

All information patient-reported and unverified. Not a diagnosis or triage decision.

Every vertical mirrors this build. The same interview engine and the same 20-second brief, re-dressed in each practice’s vocabulary. GP / doctor clinics are in preview now; dental and chiro follow.
