THE REORIENTATION OF SPINE CARE: TREATMENT COLLABORATION FOR COST EFFECTIVE, VALUE PROVEN, PATIENT CENTERED SPINE CARE

Subject overview

LBP was the leading cause of YLDs at 63.7 million in 2019 worldwide. It accounted for approximately 568.4 million prevalent cases and 223.5 million incident cases globally. Although the cost and disability from LBP vary substantially between countries, facts that remain consistent are that costs and disability are rising globally and we are facing greater challenges in managing the impact of the growing economic burden.

Determining value is a challenging proposition for Spine Care providers pitting health care outcomes against expenditures. In a world though, where low back pain accounts for most years lived with disability, value-based care for spinal disorders is of paramount importance. Economic analysis of spine care interventions is critical in determining treatments with proven value. Even when determined, Multidisciplinary efforts at care coordination is necessary to prevent suboptimal isolated treatment recommendations and costly disability. Integrated, collaborative approaches need to continue to be established and built upon to ensure affordable solutions to this growing economic burden
