Who this guide helps
Households coordinating mobility-related services
The short answer
Ask which provider assesses the person, which supplies the product and which installs or maintains it. A seller's product knowledge is not automatically clinical assessment.
Practical workflow
Map intended tasks, professional recommendations shared with consent and technical dependencies. Verify qualifications or licensing where relevant. Ask who handles fitting, instruction, changes and faults. Keep personal health information limited to the appropriate recipients.
What a useful handoff looks like
Request a written responsibility plan and confirm how providers coordinate unresolved issues. Record what is outside each service scope before ordering. Ask the qualified assessor about suitability rather than comparing only dimensions or price.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not assume the installation provider can approve a medical use or that equipment supply includes ongoing care.
Working example: fields to record
| Field | Illustrative entry — replace with your own facts |
|---|---|
| Service role | Clinical assessment or product supply |
| Coordination point | Consent-based information handoff |
| Scope exclusion | Ongoing care not implied |
Add your own entries; the example is illustrative. Keep sensitive information private.
