Here is a look at some of them. First, today's illness-oriented paradigm is changing to a one of preventive practices. This is a trend we can all live with. Preventive care, health and fitness definitely apply to ABI's view of managing spine problems. Clinical practice guidelines are now emerging from committees of various medical professional societies and governmental agencies.
Guidelines can improve the standards of patient care and help conserve health care resources.
ABI has applied clinical guidelines for spine care since 1989. Computers and information technologies have finally migrated into the clinical environment, where they enhance patient care and administrative efficiencies. These same technologies provide an abundance of electronic health care information for patients. Informed patients who take on in their own health care decisions get better care.
