Tool guide

Learn more about this tool

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Set a clear practice frame

Use the washing and checking rules as editable starting points. Choose the relevant focus and add any case-specific context or instructions before sharing.

Review together

Patients can acknowledge reading the handout and send questions. The review preserves the rules used for that handout without scoring practice.

Adapt every section

Rename, add, remove, and reorder rule sections, individual rules, and focus options to suit your practice.

Can I change the rules?

Yes. All rules and focus options in the starting template can be edited before use.

Does the handout measure adherence?

No. It gives behavioral instructions and records review acknowledgement and patient questions when those are used.

What is saved from this page?

Saving creates a reusable configuration. The in-memory acknowledgement and questions do not become a client result.
