No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the impact of a new care pathway (the Carpal Tunnel Plus Pathway) in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What was the effect of the Carpal Tunnel Plus Pathway on wait times between each step of the care pathway (e.g. from referral to initial consult, from initial consult to surgical consult, etc.)?
2. How satisfied are patients with the care they received through the Carpal Tunnel Plus Pathway?

Researchers will compare wait times pre- and post- Pathway implementation to see if there was any change.

Participants will be asked to complete a short patient satisfaction survey.
