Before we opened in 1993, we conducted focus groups with local employers, unions, government, insurers, and health care providers, in order to determine how best to combat the ever-increasing costs and suffering associated with soft tissue injury. Early treatment is better than late. Individuals often seem to receive treatment of questionable benefit without clear treatment goals. Treatment success is dependent upon accurate assessment and appropriate therapy. Delays in appropriate therapy set in motion a complex process involving more and more stakeholders, and the recovery of the individual can become secondary to other concerns.
Ineffective treatment leads to increasing disability and chronic pain.
The Right Care at the Right Time Summit brings many different health care professionals together in one clinic, where they work together and understand what each can offer to an injured client at various stages of recovery. The Summit clinicians involved in a client's care are then more able to communicate and work as a team to modify treatment on the basis of the client's progress. This removes a lot of delay, confusion, and stress for the injured person. The right treatment, at the right time, for the right person.
