Bilateral Clinician Part ONLY

Proposed solution:

1 Circle with either:

•  separate surveys for L/R sides or 
• one survey with conditional formatting

‍

Bilateral BOTH Clinician & Patient Parts

Disadvantages of one bilateral Circle:

• displaying empty graphs on Benchmarc as well as empty columns in the raw report for the side not treated, i.e. without no reported outcomes.
• +”Which side is being treated” question will have to be added to each of the patient’s surveys so that relevant questionnaire(s) are popped up.

‍

*Proposed solutions:

a) 2 separate Circles

Separate ROOT OP should be created for precise data sharing

Bilateral generic root – will enable data sharing – and it is better to specify the right/left in the questions, circle/protocol/survey names

• bundles: if to use a generic one - it is better to leave the single choice question left/right for reports & cohorts
• customer will need to share the data in the case with the second circle if he/she would like to have data in one report
• if to use different (L/R) bundles/ scoring groups, there is no need for a separate question (L/R), BUT there will be two different columns for the SGs in the report (in case of data sharing between Circles), and the second scoring group can be used as a cohort in the report builder!

‍

b) 2 separate versions (as alternative to all):

Advantages:

• data fall to one report without any sharing with other Circle
• if there are two SGs (L/R), the possibility to make a cohort with another SG in Report builder still remains

Disadvantages:

• ! patient will see the same generic OP Name not that of the version, e.g. Knee OA Recovery when switching between cases; the clinician will be able to see the version name also only after entering the case
• minor: not to forget for the User to switch between versions when creating a case as there will be one default version set up (either Left or Right)

‍

 After summing up the entire above, the final decision was made to propose/create two separate Circles.
