FastBack Subacute

A process to improve throughput from primary care through physiatry to surgery, improving efficiency and quality at all ends.

Problem: Whether it’s young people searching for a quick fix, workers looking for a long-term solution, or sedentary elderly patients who have given up hope, there’s an epidemic of unnecessary back surgery. Even the best surgeons must wade through a dozen cases before finding an appropriate operation.

Solution: FastBack Subacute aligns primary care physicians with non-surgical spine experts who screen and manage non-surgical cases.

Approach: FastBack Subacute provides a customized and organized approach to surgical referrals that increase the efficiency and clinic-to-operation ratio of surgeons.
