ODI, DASH, KOOS, and Lysholm scores tell a more credible story than "patient reports improvement." Clinit tracks these longitudinally and charts them session-by-session.
The Documentation Problem in Physiotherapy
"Patient tolerated treatment well" and "progressing as expected" are descriptions that mean nothing to a patient, a referring surgeon, or an insurance reviewer. Validated outcome measures translate clinical progress into numbers that communicate across settings.
Measures Supported in Clinit Physiotherapy
- VAS / NPRS — Pain intensity (general)
- ODI — Oswestry Disability Index (lumbar spine)
- DASH — Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand
- Lysholm Knee Score — Ligamentous knee pathology
- KOOS — Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score
- PSK — Patient-Specific Functional Scale (patient-defined activity goals)
Longitudinal Charting
Every completed outcome measure adds a point to a mini-chart displayed in the physiotherapy module header. The trend is visible without opening historical records — one glance tells the clinician and patient whether the trajectory is positive.
Referral Letters
When the physiotherapist generates a referral or discharge letter, Clinit auto-populates the pre- and post-treatment scores, the ROM trend, and the treatment summary. This creates a professional, data-driven document rather than a paragraph of subjective descriptions.
Why This Matters Commercially
Clinics that document with validated outcome measures command higher credibility with referring doctors and are better positioned if insurance reimbursement systems begin requiring functional outcome data — a trend already visible in the Gulf.
