EXAMINATION & TREATMENT PLANNING · QOM
Start with the problem, not the treatment name.
The first step is understanding the main concern and reviewing the current condition before choosing a treatment path. Symptoms, previous care, patient priorities and relevant records help shape the visit.

Understand the concern
The visit begins with the symptom, concern or goal rather than a pre-selected procedure.
Review the findings
Clinical examination and appropriate records or imaging are used when they help answer the clinical question.
Clarify the next step
Reasonable options, priorities, likely sequence and limitations are discussed before treatment begins.
