- providing to the patient a functionality question relating to subjective assessment of functionality of the patient;
- receiving a response from the patient to each of the plurality of questions and to the functionality question;
- inputting responses to the plurality of questions and to the functionality question received from the patient into a computer system to create a patient database;
- analyzing the response to each of the plurality of questions, the response to the functionality question, or combinations thereof, to determine an indication of additional inventories;
- providing to the patient additional inventories corresponding to the indication comprising automatically adding at least one additional question to the questionnaire concurrent with a determination of the indication for an additional inventory, receiving responses from the patient thereto, and analyzing the responses to the additional inventories;
- assessing the patient by a first physician and recording a functionality assessment corresponding to the patient, wherein the functionality assessment and a patient's response to the functionality question define a differential;
- using the response to each of the plurality of questions, the response to the functionality question, the responses to the additional inventories, the functionality assessment, the differential, or combinations thereof, to form a first patient assessment comprising at least one potential diagnosis of the patient;
- and
- communicating said at least one potential diagnosis of the patient to a second physician.
