Summary

This study will investigate implementation of a process to enhance Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) adherence to limit unwarranted variability in initial treatment decisions with high potential for providing more effective and efficient physical therapy management for patients with neck and low back pain.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain
  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Clinical Practice Guideline Implementation

The Study team will use several methods from the implementation strategy taxonomy of the Effective Practice and Organization of Care (EPOC) classification system to improve our likelihood for successful neck and low back pain implementation consisting of: 1) educational materials, workshops and outreach visits from trainers; 2) external consultant testimonials; 3) iterative quality improvement processes (including ongoing analysis of clinician feedback to improve process); 4) routine collection of patient reported outcomes to engage discussion among clinician groups and outpatient division leaders) and 5) local organization consensus process (including feedback from key outpatient division stakeholders).

OTHER

Standard Care

Considering the stepped wedge design with a 12-week washout phase, clinics will be providing standard physical therapy prior to receiving clinical practice guideline training.
