ManageCare transforms shoulder and elbow surgery practices by managing the complete patient journey — from referral with MRI and X-ray through surgical planning for rotator cuff repair, arthroplasty, or fracture fixation, and long-term rehabilitation milestone tracking. Our AI agents coordinate imaging review, implant authorization, post-operative therapy protocols, and range-of-motion surveillance unique to upper extremity surgery.
Coordinate upper extremity surgical journeys from imaging referral through arthroplasty and rehabilitation milestones.

Shoulder and elbow surgery practices face journey gaps where MRI referrals arrive without correlating physical exam findings, shoulder arthroplasty authorizations are lengthy and documentation-heavy, post-operative rehabilitation compliance determines functional outcomes, and patients undergoing reverse total shoulder or complex elbow reconstruction miss critical therapy windows that compromise long-term function.
MRI referrals arrive without physical exam findings, making it impossible to correlate imaging with clinical presentation
Shoulder arthroplasty insurance authorizations require extensive documentation including failed conservative treatment proof
Post-rotator cuff repair patients fail to comply with sling immobilization and early motion restrictions, risking re-tear
Therapy milestone tracking is fragmented between surgeon and physical therapist notes, obscuring recovery trajectory
Reverse total shoulder patients require specific rehabilitation protocols that differ from standard arthroplasty and are often confused
Complex elbow reconstruction patients miss critical early motion windows, leading to contracture and permanent stiffness
Every workflow purpose-built for shoulder & elbow surgery operations.
Referral intake with OCR extraction of MRI reports, X-rays, and physical exam findings with patient matching and insurance verification in under 3 minutes
AI-driven scheduling matching patients to optimal surgical slots based on procedure type, implant availability, rotator cuff tear size, and fracture acuity
Smart waitlist that fills shoulder and elbow surgery cancellations within minutes via automated SMS and voice outreach to pre-cleared candidates
Pre-treatment prep automation — advanced imaging coordination, implant sizing, pre-operative therapy, and sling/immobilizer preparation with compliance confirmation
Multi-channel patient engagement: surgical prep reminders, sling wear instructions, and post-operative exercise progression guides via SMS, voice, and portal
Real-time post-operative range-of-motion monitoring with AI severity assessment and escalation for stiffness, nerve symptoms, or implant concerns
Post-treatment AI triage with 91% first-call resolution — addressing sling management, pain control, exercise progression, and therapy milestone questions
Automated rehabilitation milestone tracking and long-term implant surveillance — zero patients lost to shoulder or elbow surgery follow-up
Specialized AI employees that handle these workflows autonomously.
Extracts MRI findings, X-ray assessments, and physical exam data from shoulder and elbow referral packets using OCR. Verifies insurance for arthroplasty and reconstruction procedures, flags missing imaging, and documents failed conservative treatment history.
Matches patients to optimal surgical slots based on procedure type, implant availability, and clinical urgency. Coordinates with implant vendors for sizing and maintains a pre-cleared waitlist to fill cancellations for both arthroplasty and arthroscopic cases.
Delivers procedure-specific immobilization instructions, exercise progression protocols, and therapy scheduling reminders via SMS, voice, and portal. Differentiates between rotator cuff, arthroplasty, and fracture rehabilitation pathways for accurate patient guidance.
Monitors post-operative recovery through patient-reported range-of-motion and pain scores with AI severity assessment for stiffness, nerve injury, and implant complications. Resolves 91% of concerns on first contact and ensures zero patients are lost to rehabilitation and implant surveillance.
