Welcome to Treat Your Business
Hello and welcome to the Treat Your Business Podcast. I am Katie Bell and today we are diving into the crucial topic of initial assessments in private MSK practice. I am joined by Paul Baker from Go Clinic AI who shares how to transform your assessment process for better patient outcomes and a thriving clinic.
Episode Summary
Initial assessments are the foundation of every patient journey. When done right, they build trust, motivate patients, and secure commitment to treatment plans. The reality is that these sessions are often rushed and inconsistent. Traditional assessments can take up the whole first session, leaving little time for hands-on treatment or building rapport. This can lead to patients feeling unsure and missing out on those quick wins that boost retention and confidence.
Paul reveals how Go Clinic AI shifts history taking to before the appointment. This tool gives us more time in the clinic room, standardises excellence, and boosts diagnostic confidence. You will hear how AI-guided pre-assessment supports both experienced clinicians and new grads, helping you deliver a consistent and high-quality patient experience every time.
