You are gently palpating the thenar eminence, feeling for the tell-tale thickening of the transverse carpal ligament, while your patient describes a "pins and needles" sensation that radiates toward the ring and middle fingers. In the high-stakes world of hand therapy and orthopaedic surgery, the "assessment" isn't just a physical exam; it is a high-precision diagnostic audit where the most important variables are the intersection of Anatomical Pain / Problem and the specific WAHS (Westmead Adult Hospital Screen) score. A file that lacks a verified Positive Clinical Findings check-off or a documented Likely Pain Sources list is a clinical observation without the forensic depth needed for specialized surgical planning.

The Ritual of Anatomical Stewardship

The "QASMC ISISISIS" template is designed for the hand specialist or physiotherapist who treats musculoskeletal assessment as a forensic engineering task. It moves your records from fragmented clinical notes to a structured, audit-ready digital vault. By standardizing the capture of the Ref number and the specific Anatomical Pain / Problem (from RUL to L/S Spine), the system ensures that every patient interaction is anchored to hard anatomical data. It acknowledges that knowing the Date Of Birth is as vital for pediatric vs. geriatric hand care as the diagnosis itself.

The Blueprint: Hand Intelligence Architecture

The structure of this library is built to handle the technical and creative density of expert hand care.

  • Evidentiary Precision: Dedicated multichoice fields capture 19 specific Positive Clinical Findings—from Tennis Elbow and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to Dupuytren's and Trigger Finger—providing an immediate audit trail of clinical evidence.
  • Metric Integrity: The template tracks the physical DNA of the injury, documenting the WAHS score for both the Right Hand and Left Hand, ensuring that dexterity and strength are documented with surgical precision across all digits from thumb to little.
  • Procedural Triage: With fields for the Plan (including Injection, Diagnostic, and Referral) and specific Hand Rejuvenation Details, the system anchors your clinical acts to a long-term treatment narrative, facilitating high-speed recovery auditing.

Usage Scenarios: The Pre-Surgical Audit

You are reviewing a patient for a suspected Carpal Tunnel Syndrome release. Instead of searching through fanned-out hospital charts, you open Memento. You filter by Ref and review the documented Likely Pain Sources and the attached Photo of the initial presentation. You verify the WAHS Right Hand scores from the last three sessions to confirm that the condition is progressing despite conservative Plan interventions. The digital archive has turned a potential high-stress decision window into a documented sequence of professional successes.

Power Feature: High-Resolution Sensory Mapping

By utilize the exhaustive multichoice logic for the WAHS and Positive Clinical Findings fields, the template transforms from a log into a professional pedagogical tool. You can analyze your patient outcomes across different likely pain sources, identifying which Hand Rejuvenation Details consistently yield the highest recovery rates for your specific practice. It ensures that your clinical judgment is always supported by forensic-grade evidence of your personal progress, turning a collection of assessments into a documented narrative of medical excellence.
