Research-driven approaches to improve quality and costs across the continuum of back pain.

Improving Operations

Quality measurements and procedures improve efficiency and effectiveness

Developed with quality in mind, each component of Operation FastBack improves efficiency of the health care team.

  • The FastBack Prevention program provides patient education and patient intake forms that speed up primary care management of acute care patients.
  • FastBack Emergency speeds patients through the ER, where necessary to PM&R or therapists with clear responsibilty.
  • FastBack Subacute patient questionnaires, clinical flow, and surgical hand-off processes mean that the right patient gets the right care at the right time.
  • Where chronic patients often become dissatisfied return visits, the single-visit assessment of FastBack Chronic provides them with a definitive roadmap to the point of case closure, so both they and their clinician are at peace with their final status. That keeps chronic patients out of surgical clinics, lowers drug management hassles, and makes the job of primary care physicians as easy as possible.
