New Patient - Letter [Orthopaedic Surgeon]

Diagnosis: - [primary_diagnosis] (List only the main diagnosis with affected side. If there are two distinct pathologies, include both, otherwise focus on the primary condition. Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.) Plan: - [management_plan_item_1] (Each management plan item should be on its own line with a dash. Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.) - [management_plan_item_2] (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.) -[management_plan_item_3] (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.) Thank you for referring [patient_full_name] who I reviewed today. [patient_first_name] is a [patient_age] year old [occupation] [sex] who presents with [chief_complaint]. (Include occupation only if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit this term without noting its absence. For all placeholders in this sentence, only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.) [detailed_history] (Include onset, duration, severity, aggravating/alleviating factors, associated symptoms, functional limitations, previous injuries, trauma, treatments tried and responses. If the patient has explicitly denied a therapy when asked about it, state this explicitly. Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.) [combined_history_paragraph] (Create one cohesive paragraph that combines any explicitly mentioned social history (occupation, home supports, living situation, sports, physical activities, hobbies), followed by medical and surgical history, current medications and allergies in a single flowing paragraph with no separation. Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.) [examination_and_investigations] (Physical examination findings including any explicitly mentioned inspection, palpation, range of motion, strength testing, joint stability, deformity, swelling or tenderness. Then summarise investigations performed, including type (X-ray, CT, US, MRI), when performed (month and year if mentioned), where performed (imaging provider name such as PRC, SKG, i-Med if mentioned), and results. Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.) [treatment_discussion] (Summary of treatment discussion including diagnosis explanation, patient education, surgical and non-operative options, informed consent, potential risks, patient information resources provided, and specific concerns addressed, but only if these elements are explicitly mentioned. Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.) Thank you for your ongoing care of [patient_name]. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or require further information regarding the management plan. Yours Sincerely, (This is a clinical letter to the referring GP. Only include information explicitly mentioned in the consultation, transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note. For diagnosis, include only the primary diagnosis or at most two distinct pathologies - do not list multiple related diagnoses or symptoms. Write in full sentences with no section headings except for "Diagnosis:" and "Plan:" at the beginning. List each diagnosis and plan item on a separate line with a dash (-). If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned, omit the placeholder completely without noting its absence. For imaging providers (such as PRC, SKG, i-Med), include the name exactly as mentioned. For dates, format as month/year if mentioned. Do not quote text from the transcript.)
