AMA5 and Queensland GEPI accuracy and reliability update.
Corrected source-table values for movement and joint conditions; improved nerve deficit grading, skin assessment and duplicate-entry handling. Reports now identify the selected AMA5 or Queensland GEPI basis correctly and use the local assessment date. Unsupported rating shortcuts are guarded.
This update continues to cover AMA5 and Queensland GEPI only.
