Actually there are models even closer than that. Here in Ontario there have been some projects by the province to integrate the chiropractor as a secondary adviser for musculoskeletal conditions within a medical setting. It was a great success and the patient satisfaction.... The medical doctor appreciated the suggestions made by the chiropractor in order to orient the patient towards the kind of conservative care that he needed.
Again, this is a process of triage. People who desperately needed medical attention from a specialist got it faster. When you look at it from the patient's point of view, who's on a waiting to see an orthopaedic surgeon and knows that the list is two years in front of them, to have somebody come to them, assess them, and say that they really do need medical attention, then they're going to get it sooner because we've cleared the waiting time of a year and a half. It's terrific news. For the patient it's wonderful to have collaborative care like this.
