Diabetic Foot Risk Assessment & Care Planning
Stratify diabetic foot risk and generate evidence-based care plans in minutes
What You Can Do
You can rapidly assess diabetic foot patients using validated risk frameworks, identify neuropathy and vascular complications, and generate personalized, evidence-based care plans tailored to each patient's risk level. The skill integrates clinical screening protocols, prevention strategies, and documentation templates to reduce ulcer incidence and guide patient management decisions.
Features
Evaluates patients across Wagner classification, UT/IWGDF risk categories, and Texas classification to provide comprehensive risk assessment
Prompts for monofilament testing, vibration sense, ankle reflexes, pedal pulses, and skin temperature to detect peripheral neuropathy and vascular insufficiency
Generates risk-stratified care pathways including footwear recommendations, self-care instructions, monitoring frequency, and specialist referral criteria
Prioritizes preventive measures (offloading, skin care, education) and treatment options based on current clinical guidelines and patient risk profile
Creates tailored patient handouts on daily foot inspection, ulcer prevention, medication adherence, and when to seek urgent care
Structures assessment findings, risk scores, and care plan decisions into audit-ready documentation compliant with medical record standards
Recommends visit frequency, imaging intervals, and reassessment timelines based on risk level and complication history
Incorporates prior ulcers, amputations, infections, and hospitalizations to refine risk estimates and intensify preventive strategies
Example Output
Patient: John D., 58M with Type 2 Diabetes
Risk Assessment Result: HIGH RISK (Wagner Grade 2 equivalent)
- Severe sensory neuropathy (monofilament: unable to sense 10g at hallux)
- Diminished dorsalis pedis pulse (bilateral)
- Prior history of plantar ulcer (healed 2 years ago)
Care Plan Summary
-
Immediate Actions (this visit)

You can systematically generate ranked differential diagnoses for presenting complaints (chest pain, dyspnea, abdominal pain, headache, joint pain, fatigue) by applying evidence-based clinical decision rules and risk stratification. The skill helps you identify red flags that change management priority, justify test selection to supervising physicians, and document diagnostic reasoning in the medical record while reducing anchoring bias and ensuring comprehensive consideration of serious diagnoses.

You can conduct comprehensive, real-time labor progression assessments that integrate cervical findings, descent patterns, uterine contractions, and psychosocial factors into structured clinical evaluations. The skill synthesizes complex obstetric data aligned with ACNM standards and birth center protocols, enabling you to identify prolonged labor or arrest disorders early and make informed decisions about continuing birth center support or recommending transfer before complications develop.

You can rapidly synthesize complex patient data—comorbidities, functional status, labs, medications—into a comprehensive risk profile and actionable optimization plan. This skill guides you through ASA classification, procedure-specific risk stratification, and patient-centered consent documentation to ensure thorough clinical reasoning and defensible preoperative assessment.

This skill guides you through structured psychiatric case formulation using a biopsychosocial framework. You input patient presentation, assessment data, and clinical history, then receive a comprehensive formulation that integrates symptom synthesis, differential diagnosis reasoning, predisposing/precipitating/perpetuating factors, protective factors, and evidence-based treatment recommendations. The output is suitable for clinical documentation, insurance authorizations, case conferences, and supervision.

You can conduct comprehensive subluxation assessments on pediatric patients by integrating structural examination findings, functional limitations, parental observations, and neurological indicators within a developmental context. Claude helps you correlate specific subluxations to presenting complaints (colic, ear infections, torticollis, scoliosis patterns) and create objective documentation suitable for insurance, medical records, and referral purposes. You'll develop age-appropriate treatment plans that address both the subluxation and the child's unique physiological stage.

You can rapidly organize scattered assessment data (OTPF-4 domains, ADL/IADL observations, standardized test results) into defensible treatment plans that clearly connect functional gaps to specific interventions. This skill helps you document medical necessity for insurers, communicate functional limitations to patients and families in plain language, and design adaptive strategies with documented clinical rationale—reducing documentation time by 40-50% while ensuring compliance across any OT setting.

You can systematically evaluate surgical candidates by analyzing comorbidities, functional status, and lab/imaging results to generate evidence-based risk stratification and optimization plans. The skill helps you identify which patients need specialist input, determine pre-operative timeline feasibility, and communicate risk clearly to patients and surgical teams—reducing perioperative morbidity by targeting modifiable factors before surgery.

You can create comprehensive, evidence-based perioperative pain management protocols tailored to individual patient characteristics and surgical requirements. The skill assesses patient risk factors, recommends optimized multimodal analgesia regimens with specific drug selections and dosing rationales, incorporates regional techniques when appropriate, and identifies contingency plans for inadequate pain control or contraindications. This enables you to move beyond generic guidelines toward truly personalized pain management strategies that reduce opioid exposure while maintaining analgesia.
