Orthopedic PT clinics lack standardized communication from physicians about post-MUA (Manipulation Under Anesthesia) patient scheduling, forcing reliance on patients to self-report and causing last-minute scheduling chaos.

Existing scheduling and EHR systems do not include a workflow for physician offices to automatically notify PT clinics when a patient is scheduled for MUA, forcing manual, patient-dependent communication.
