Summary
A streamlined one-stop shoulder clinic improved patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative saved numerous appointments and significantly reduced waiting times for shoulder procedures and physiotherapy.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Health Services Management
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for efficient healthcare delivery.
- Traditional shoulder clinics face challenges in timely patient management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a one-stop shoulder clinic model.
- To assess the impact on patient wait times and clinical outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective analysis of 861 patients managed at a one-stop shoulder clinic.
- Data collection on appointments saved, ultrasound usage, procedures performed, and physiotherapy referrals.
- Assessment of Oxford Shoulder Score improvement at one year.
Main Results:
- 861 patients were seen, preventing 794 future appointments.
- 111 patients underwent ultrasound scans and 285 had ultrasound-guided procedures, reducing average wait times by 134 days.
- 327 patients received physiotherapy, with an average Oxford Shoulder Score improvement of 8.56 at one year.
Conclusions:
- The one-stop shoulder clinic model is an effective strategy for streamlining services.
- This integrated approach significantly reduces patient waiting times and improves functional outcomes.

01:23Muscles of the Shoulder
3.9K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
