Orthopedic EMR for personal injury
Orthopedic EMR for Personal Injury
Orthopedic practices treat personal injury and insurance patients. Ambula runs both in one cloud-based EMR, from joint exams and imaging to liens and attorney records.
One record, from first visit to handoff
Follow the clinical case without losing the work around it.

Connected care path
One connected personal injury record
One record from the injury to the recovery.
Ambula is a cloud-based orthopedic EMR for practices that treat personal injury patients. It keeps joint-specific exams, imaging, conservative and surgical treatment, recovery milestones, lien billing, and attorney records in one case, so the orthopedic story is ready when the firm asks for it.
Personal injury workflow
What a standard orthopedic EMR misses with personal injury patients.
An orthopedic EMR records the exam and the surgery. A personal injury case also needs the signed lien, updates for the attorney, and proof of recovery the firm can use at settlement.
Treatment decisions the firm can follow
Conservative care and surgical decisions sit in one timeline, so the case report shows why treatment changed and when.
Liens signed at intake
Lien and consent forms are signed during digital intake, with the referring attorney attached to the case from the first visit.
Recovery the attorney can see
Share range-of-motion progress, imaging reports, and bills through the Lawyer Portal, and only when you approve it.
One balance through settlement
Office visit and surgery charges stay on the case ledger with the lien balance until the case settles.
01 · Intake
Injury intake and joint exam before the first visit.
Open the case with the injured joint, how the injury happened, and the referring attorney before the first exam.
Digital intake records how the injury happened and which joints hurt, so the exam template matches the injury.
Imaging the patient brings is linked to the chart before the first exam.
Lien and consent forms are signed on the patient's phone, with the referring firm attached to the case.
Orthopedic intake
02 · Care
Range of motion, imaging, and recovery in one chart.
Follow recovery joint by joint, whether the plan is therapy, injections, bracing, or surgery.
Range-of-motion and strength-grade fields by joint show progress, or the lack of it, visit over visit.
Physical therapy, injections, bracing, and post-operative care sit on one timeline with recovery milestones.
Send the patient to physical therapy, imaging, or surgical scheduling from the same case.
03 · Handoff
Orthopedic case reports, ready for the firm.
Give the firm a clear orthopedic picture without exporting the whole chart.
Share the exam notes and imaging reports you approve through the Lawyer Portal.
A case report shows range-of-motion progress and the treatment decisions behind it.
The itemized bill and lien balance go to the law office with the records.
Records release
Orthopedic documentation
Charts built around the joint, not just the visit.
A shoulder note and a knee note shouldn't look the same. Ambula templates follow the body region and the injury.
Joint-specific exams
Range-of-motion and strength-grade fields by joint, with exam findings organized by body region.
Templates by injury type
Separate templates for fractures, sprains, tears, and post-surgical follow-up.
Imaging in context
Imaging and orthopedic test results linked to the same chart as the exam they inform.
Conservative and surgical pathways
Physical therapy, injections, bracing, and post-operative care tracked with recovery milestones visit over visit.

Orthopedic EMR questions
Practical answers about the record, treatment progress, and the information that follows the case forward.
01What should an orthopedic EMR have if we treat personal injury patients?+
Joint-specific exams and imaging are the start. For personal injury cases you also need lien forms at intake, a ledger that holds surgery and visit charges until settlement, attorney access you control, and case reports built from the chart. Ambula covers all of these in one EMR.
02How much does Ambula's orthopedic EMR cost?+
Ambula costs $300 per provider per month on the independent practice plan and includes orthopedic templates, personal injury billing, the Lawyer Portal, and support. Surgery centers are $750 per operating room per month.
03Can Ambula handle insurance patients as well as personal injury cases?+
Yes. Orthopedic practices with a mix of insurance and personal injury patients run both in Ambula, so the whole practice works from one chart.
04Can I build different exam templates for different joints or injury types?+
Yes. Templates can be built per body region and per injury type, such as fracture, sprain, tear, or post-surgical, so a knee note and a shoulder note don't share the same generic fields.
05Can Ambula track conservative care and surgery in the same record?+
Yes. Physical therapy, injections, bracing, and surgical care sit on one timeline with recovery milestones, so the reason for each treatment change stays clear.
06What can attorneys see from an orthopedic case?+
Only what you approve. Through the Lawyer Portal, a firm can see the records, imaging reports, and bills you share for that case, without calling your office.
07Can we bring records from our old EMR?+
Yes. Ambula can move over patient records and scanned documents. The team reviews your current system with you and agrees on scope and any fees before you switch.
