ORTHOPAEDICS / CORE CHECK / ORIGINAL PRACTICE
Which three contextual layers should you identify before using a trauma source as a revision anchor?
The mechanism or population, the care setting and resources assumed, and the phase of the pathway it covers.
Why is a function-focused note more complete than an anatomy-only note?
Because mobility, participation, quality of life and rehabilitation context are part of the outcome a source may address.
What needs local verification before a global rehabilitation source is interpreted as a pathway?
Available services, workforce, assistive needs, referral systems and the person’s setting.
