Orthotics clinic management software
Orthotics software that brings patient care and technical work together. Manage assessments, appointments, device orders, fabrication stages, and fitting follow-ups in LifeLink.
Now connected: AADL claim entry & predetermination →One patient. One connected workflow.
Orthotics software connects clinical records with the work of making and fitting orthotic devices. LifeLink gives orthotists, reception teams, and technicians a shared place to coordinate that journey.
Now in LifeLink · Alberta Aids to Daily Living
LifeLink connects orthotics and prosthetics clinics to the Alberta Blue Cross AADL portal. Send patient-linked claim details directly from LifeLink and review predetermination results in the same workflow.
Explore AADL submission supportAvailable now: patient lookup, claim entry, and predetermination. Final “Process claim” submission is not performed by LifeLink; predetermination is not a completed claim or a guarantee of payment.
The connected workflow
From the first conversation to the next follow-up, keep the people doing the work connected to the information they need.
Keep appointment history, clinical documentation, and orthotic orders connected to the patient. Give reception and clinicians the context they need for the next assessment.
Patient records · Clinical notes · Appointments
Follow work through assessment, measuring, casting, design, fabrication, quality check, and fitting. Use board views, priorities, due dates, and assigned technicians to coordinate the work.
Technical orders · Board & timeline · Assigned owners
Link purchase orders to patient work, review receiving, and manage technical inventory in the same workspace. See what is ready and what still needs attention before a fitting.
Purchase orders · Receiving · Inventory
Book the fitting, document the encounter, and arrange follow-up from the connected platform. Keep the clinical record alongside the device workflow as care continues.
Fitting appointments · Charting · Follow-up
LifeLink’s orthotics workspace includes ankle-foot and knee-ankle-foot orthosis orders (AFO and KAFO), knee orthoses, upper-extremity orthoses, and spinal orthoses. Discuss your device categories, documentation requirements, and production stages during a workflow demo.
Map your workflow with usDevice-specific detail
An orthotics work order needs to explain what is being made, who it is for, and what the technical team needs to know. LifeLink connects patient-linked orders with device specifications and shared production tracking. These are the device workflows available in the orthotics workspace.
Ankle-foot and knee-ankle-foot orthosis workflows
The shared order workspace includes fields for device type, material, thickness, ankle angle, trimlines, padding, straps, colour, and special instructions. AFO type options include solid, articulated, ground reaction, posterior leaf spring, and carbon. Review KAFO-specific requirements during your demo.
KO order specifications
Record frame and joint details, flexion and extension stops, straps, and special instructions. Keep these specifications with the order so the technical team can review the requested configuration alongside its status and due date.
Upper-limb device documentation
Capture device type, pathology, joints, and special instructions in the upper-extremity order workflow. Connect the device request to the patient record rather than relying on a separate list of workshop instructions.
TLSO, LSO, and CTLSO order options
Select the orthosis category and record pathology, levels, and special instructions. Device-specific fields make the handoff more precise while keeping clinical decisions with the treating professional.
Repairs and other workshop tasks
Use internal technical orders for work that needs an order group, repair type, and notes. Track this work alongside device orders so a repair or modification remains visible to the team.
Clinic to workshop
LifeLink tracks the operational progress of an orthotic order. The board supports stage changes, assigned technicians, priorities, due dates, and funding-hold information. List, board, timeline, and backlog views provide different ways to review the same work.
A stage such as design or 3D scan records progress in your workflow. It does not imply that LifeLink replaces CAD/CAM software, operates a scanner, or controls fabrication machinery.
Follow work through assessment, measuring, casting, design, fabrication, modification, quality check, ready, fitting, and delivery. Configure board columns to reflect the way your clinic works, and use an on-hold stage when an order cannot move forward.
Review assigned technicians, priorities, and due dates together. Order comments, activity history, and materials give the team context when work changes hands. Reception and orthotics staff can access the technical workspace, with patient-specific work also visible from the chart.
Materials and handoffs
Knowing that an order is in fabrication is only part of the picture. The clinic also needs to know which purchase orders relate to the work and what materials are recorded against it. LifeLink brings technical orders, purchase orders, receiving, and inventory into the same workspace.
Connect purchase orders with patient work and technical orders. Purchase-order records include supplier, status, order date, expected delivery date, and amount. This gives staff a place to review purchasing context when coordinating the next stage.
Record materials against technical orders and use the receiving and inventory areas for stock operations. During your demo, walk through a real purchasing scenario using de-identified information to confirm how your suppliers, materials, and receiving process fit the workspace.
Assessments, fittings, adjustments, and follow-ups each need scheduling and clinical context. LifeLink’s connected platform combines the technical workspace with appointment scheduling, clinical charting, patient communication, and the patient portal. Your team can evaluate the full care journey in the same demo.
Orthotics software for Alberta clinics
Alberta Aids to Daily Living (AADL) workflows involve program requirements as well as clinical and device information. LifeLink includes an orthotic coverage calculator in the patient chart, with saved calculator work and the ability to attach a calculator document to a treatment or diagnosis.
The orthotics workflow also includes catalogue-code and quantity/frequency coverage review. Staff can review funding-related information alongside the patient’s treatment documentation. A calculator result or coverage warning is decision support for clinic administration; it is not a funding authorization or a guarantee of payment.
Use current program information and the required verification process when assessing eligibility, approved benefits, cost sharing, and upgrades. Discuss your clinic’s funding and billing process in the demo, including which steps remain manual.
A practical buying guide
Start with one representative patient journey: assessment, device order, purchasing, fabrication, fitting, and follow-up. Ask each vendor to demonstrate that journey with sample data. The goal is to understand exactly where your team will work and where information will need to be transferred.
| What to evaluate | What to ask the vendor to demonstrate |
|---|---|
| Device documentation | Create an order for a device your clinic actually supplies. Review specifications, patient linkage, and revision handling. |
| Technical coordination | Assign a technician, change the stage and due date, add a comment, and show what reception can see. |
| Purchasing and inventory | Link a purchase order to patient work and show the receiving process and materials recorded against the order. |
| Funding and billing | Show the calculator or funding documentation, required manual verification, and how patient charges are reviewed. |
| Scheduling and follow-up | Book an assessment and fitting, then show clinical documentation and the patient communication workflow. |
| Migration, access, and support | Confirm which existing records can be imported, staff access requirements, training arrangements, and any integrations or costs. |
Inventory your current patient records, open work orders, device forms, supplier lists, and appointment types before planning a change. Identify which records need to move and which can remain in an archive. Ask LifeLink to confirm import scope, data mapping, training, and a rollout plan before setting a go-live date.
Review the published LifeLink pricing information, then confirm the configuration for your orthotics team. Ask about the workflows included, staff and location needs, migration, training, and any additional services. A workflow demo helps clarify scope before a commercial decision.
