Online Pre-Assessment · Safe First Step
Orientation before personal examination
Online Pre-Assessment
This page explains the boundary of an initial review. It is not a form and does not collect identity details, health information or patient photographs.
This is not an emergency service. For urgent or severe symptoms, contact the appropriate local emergency medical service or healthcare facility.
Scope and Boundary
What online orientation can do
Prepare without pre-empting.
Pre-assessment organises information. It is not an emergency service and does not replace examination or individual consent.
Diagnosis and definitive plan
- no diagnosis from photographs alone
- no fixed graft or density commitment
- no treatment or outcome guarantee
- no emergency assessment
Process
Four transparent stages
Every step has a defined boundary.
Purpose and channel are explained first; only information needed for the actual question should then be requested.
Clarify the enquiry
Identify the main concern and the question that needs examination.
Confirm the suitable channel
The public website does not collect health records or patient photographs.
Review within limits
Available information may guide orientation but cannot replace examination.
Set the next step
Further information, personal assessment or another route may be advised.
A response time is stated only when a real and reliably measured practice standard supports it.
Relevant Information
As much as needed · as little as possible
Not every enquiry needs the same information.
The scope depends on the question, progression and next appropriate step.
Concern and aim
What has changed and which question should be answered first.
Onset and progression
When it began and how it has changed.
Medical history
Relevant conditions, allergies and known risks.
Medicines
Regular or temporary medicines and previous treatment.
Previous procedures
Earlier operations or treatment in the area.
Standardised images
Only if necessary, after instructions and through the stated suitable channel.
Privacy Boundary
Health data separated from the public information site
The public website does not collect medical records.
Administrative contact, medical review and clinical documentation remain separate steps.
No health form on the website
No medical free text, photographs or documents are collected here.
Purpose before transfer
The purpose and suitable channel are explained first.
Data minimisation
Only information necessary for the defined question should be requested.
Personal decision remains open
Online material does not create a treatment or outcome guarantee.
Applicable privacy information is provided before any necessary transfer of health information.
Personal Examination
What is not decided through a screen
Four levels remain personal.
Useful orientation keeps uncertainty visible and prepares the appropriate examination.
Pattern and clinical findings
Inflammation, scars and distribution require examination.
Donor reserve or tissue resources
Quality and safe limits cannot be established from isolated photographs.
Palpation and tissue findings
Some questions require touch, imaging or further assessment.
Shared plan
Priorities, limits, alternatives and the option not to proceed are discussed personally.
