This work stems from the successful pilot program, the Inter-professional Spine Assessment and Education Clinics (ISAEC) for low back pain, now called the Rapid Access Clinic for Low Back Pain (RAC LBP). The RAC LBP model is an innovative, upstream, shared-care model of care in which patients receive rapid low back pain assessment, education and evidence-based self-management plans. It is a patient-centred model of care, designed to decrease the prevalence of unmanageable chronic low back pain, reduce opioid initiation, and reduce unnecessary diagnostic imaging as well as unnecessary referral. The RAC LPB are specifically for patients with: (1) persistent low back pain and/or related symptoms (e.g. sciatica, neurogenic claudication) 6 weeks to 12 months post-onset; and (2) recurrent / episodic unmanageable low back pain and/or related symptoms of less than 12 months post-recurrence.Central-West LHIN is recruiting low back pain Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) to provide assessment and follow up working out of their respective community clinic locations across the CW LHIN sub-regions (including Brampton, Caledon, Dufferin, Malton, north Etobicoke and west Woodbridge).

The APP is a champion for best practice and innovative, patient-centred care models. The APP has the necessary skills, competencies and complex decision-making capacity to address the needs of patients presenting with not only back pain, but a range of related differential MSK/neurological conditions, and is passionate about improving access to better care for all patients.RAC LBP APPs will be connected to a Practice Leader as well as a Clinical Sponsor (spine surgeon) who will provide clinical training and practice guidance in advanced low back pain assessment and management education.
