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

FastBack Emergency

FastBack Emergency

Proven process for emergency departments and primary care physicians
to detect dangerous disease while decreasing inappropriate prescriptions.

Problem: As painful as they are, back problems are rarely life-and-death situations. But people come to the emergency room because of severe discomfort, disabilty issues, psychological problems and drug complications connected to back pain.

Solution: FastBack Emergency training helps ER medical staff manage spine issues and find the right solutions for patients.

Approach: Starting with a customized two-day workshop including hands-on teaching by our physician experts, we offer a sophisticated package of processes, forms and handouts to guide success. As first presented at AcademyHealth, FastBack Emergency is proven to cut return visits by 80% and radically decrease narcotic prescriptions while providing the evidence-based treatments that truly make a difference for the patient and the ER staff.
