Improving Veteran Access to Integrated Management of Back Pain

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Low Back Pain, Veterans Family

In brief

The purpose and objective of this pragmatic trial is to examine the effectiveness of two different quality improvement care pathways for low back pain (LBP); a sequenced, integrated care pathway (ICP) and 2) a coordinated, care management pathway (CCP). We will test the central hypothesis that the ICP will reduce pain interference with normal activities and improve physical function, as measured by Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form scores when compared to the CCP.
