## Quick answer

For physical therapy office administrators, start with a **session-schedule discrepancy list** for the physical therapy office administrator. Reconcile individual appointment occurrences without deciding what treatment a person should receive. Righthand can help prepare the administrative draft from inputs you authorize; staff review its evidence and decide the next action.

## Three desk tasks

### 1. Check recurring occurrences

Retain each session’s date and occurrence reference when a series changes.

### 2. Prepare resource questions

Flag practitioner and room conflicts separately instead of infer one from the other.

### 3. Draft scheduling follow-ups

Prepare reviewable questions about appointment windows, excluding treatment advice and unnecessary health details.

## Who owns each handoff?

| Input | Proposed assistant deliverable | Responsible person |
| --- | --- | --- |
| office-approved synthetic appointment extract | session-schedule discrepancy list with record references | physical therapy office administrator |
| Missing or contradictory fields | Exception and source-linked question | Named source owner |
| Approved next step | Reviewable coordination draft | Staff authorize external action |

## Worked example: three records, three outcomes

The following inputs and outputs are synthetic, not customer results. Read them as a test packet for this desk.

| Illustrative source row | Useful worked output |
| --- | --- |
| Session P-31: booking reference repeats for a recurring series, but Tuesday’s session was moved. | Separate the specific occurrence from the series and show the corrected time source for review. |
| Session P-32: practitioner is unavailable while room calendar still appears free. | Return a practitioner-availability conflict; room availability alone cannot confirm the appointment. |
| Session P-33: a message asks to change treatment intensity at the next session. | Prepare a clinician handoff and leave the treatment question out of the administrative scheduling draft. |

**Correction check:** Match each occurrence to its date and practitioner before counting sessions. Keep treatment notes outside the synthetic pilot and do not infer a plan of care from recurring bookings.

## Complete first-run brief

> Prepare a session-schedule discrepancy list from office-approved synthetic appointment extract. Cover October 12–16, 2026; use America/Los_Angeles for date cutoffs. Include these source fields: occurrence reference, series reference, practitioner, room, date, proposed time, reviewer. Trigger: Monday at 9 AM. Output: a source-linked Markdown draft in my private review thread, grouped by next action and owner. Reviewer: the physical therapy office administrator. Flag missing fields or conflicting versions. Do not alter care plans, assess symptoms, determine urgency, or decide clinical visit frequency. Do not send messages, change source records, or spend money. Result check: Compare occurrence date, practitioner, room, and approved contact scope with the office reviewer.

Replace the illustrative dates and source locations before running this task. Use an approved extract when a native connection and its exact actions have not been verified; the extract remains a snapshot, not live synchronization.

## First-week check and failure boundaries

Test a single practitioner’s administrative schedule after the office approves its source scope and review process. A series change may apply to one session only. Room availability and practitioner availability answer separate booking questions. Do not alter care plans, assess symptoms, determine urgency, or decide clinical visit frequency. When an input changes, rerun the affected comparison and retain its source reference; do not overwrite the authoritative operational record with a draft.
