If we were able to screen from the whole denominator of all concussions that occur, the 10% to 20% who will evolve with persistent symptoms, we would focus on those efficiently, right after two weeks, to make sure that before they make it to three weeks or a month, they are seen by those specialists, those with expertise, whether they are physiotherapists with vestibular and cervical expertise, chiropractors.... We need to have a multidisciplinary team who will provide the individualized treatment that people need at this point.
What we are suggesting is to have a stepwise process, where we screen for those who are not doing well. We make a good decision at the right time to return to play those who are doing well. But we need to improve access to the experts. We need to safeguard access to these experts by not overloading them with a whole bunch of concussion cases. There are not enough such experts. There will never be.
