Non-Traumatic Anterior Knee Pain Care Pathway

Date of last update: September, 2024

11. Ongoing Follow-up

In every patient encounter, ongoing monitoring is essential, continuously aligning the treatment plan with the patient’s evolving goals and feedback. This process not only tracks progress but ensures the care trajectory meets the patient’s needs and objectives. It facilitates a patient-centered, goal-oriented approach throughout the care journey, including discharge and post-discharge phases, making the care pathway effective and personally meaningful.

Assess: Engage the patient in a conversation to assess their health status and case progression at each encounter.

​Adjust the Treatment Plan: Regularly update the treatment plan based on patient feedback, outcome measures, and clinical judgment.

Additional Interventions or Referrals: Based on patient feedback, progress, and if treatment goals are not being met. Consider referral to an alternate provider if there is no improvement within an established timeline for treatment (e.g., 6-8 weeks may be considered failed treatment).

​Align with Patient Goals: Regularly revisit the patient's initial goals. Discuss progress towards these goals and address any barriers encountered. Adjust goals as necessary to reflect patient’s current needs and preferences.
