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

FastBack Prevention

FastBack Prevention

Comprehensive educational program for employers, insurers, and health systems
that takes the unique approach of preventing disability and medical misadventure instead of pain.

Problem: From factories to cubicles, lower back pain has a significant effect on productivity and healthcare costs, once estimated at $34,600 per 100 employees annually. And a growing number of students, athletes and pregnant women experience some type of pain.

Solution: FastBack Prevention, designed on behalf of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, provides excellent results for health systems and communities.

Approach: Through clinic, school, business and media outreach, our program provides strategies to help patients, kids, workers and the public know what they need to do to prevent back pain and better assess their own problems. It even includes the comical online BackQuack(TM) video game aimed at letting people know their choices.

For more perspective on how it works, please read this case study of FastBack Prevention.
