About the Rapid Access Clinics for Low Back Pain (RAC-LBP) Program
The RAC-LBP program (formerly known as ISAEC) is an innovative, upstream, shared-care model of care in which patients receive timely low back pain assessment (average wait time ≈ 4 weeks), education and evidence-based self-management plans.
It is designed to decrease the prevalence of unmanageable chronic low back pain, reduce unnecessary diagnostic imaging and specialist referrals as well as unnecessary specialist referral.
