Very interesting project - I wonder how the decrease in imaging might relate to decreased low value care? Would love to see you explore that more explicitly.
Great. Very important research question. You picked two of the most challenging clinical conditions for focus of the study. I'm not sure they belong together. Almost no clinical intervention changes the outcome of low back pain patients, so it's not surprising you did not document a difference here. The best way to avoid unnecessary or inappropriate testing such as imaging is to avoid unnecessary referral to specialist care, which these telehealth visits or any intermediate visits effectively do. Thanks for sharing your work here at NAPCRG.
Love to see some of these studies coming out about video visits. Very well done
