In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, Extremity Division lead faculty member Cody Gingerich discusses the two essential questions that clinicians must ask during every initial evaluation to set the stage for successful patient interactions. The first question focuses on understanding the patient's expectations of success, which helps establish clear communication and align goals throughout the treatment process. The second question inquires about the patient's perception of their condition, fostering a deeper understanding of their perspective. Cody emphasizes the importance of these questions in enhancing the overall experience for both the clinician and the patient, ensuring that expectations are managed effectively from the outset. Tune in to learn how these foundational questions can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
