Summary

The SPLIT project evaluates the implementation of a stratified model of care for people with low back pain patients who consulted primary care.This involves evaluating the process of implementation as well as patient level outcomes.

The project consists of two phases: First, a before-after study comprising two sequential but independent cohort studies will be conducted to compare the outcomes and cost-effectiveness of current practice with the SPLIT stratified model of care. Second, an implementation strategy will be developed based on the results of a survey regarding determinants of current practice, and two focus groups concerning the barriers and facilitators for the implementation of the SPLIT stratified model of care.
