And, for my practice, being able to identify what’s not chronic low back pain and what could be something inflammatory was empowering. Then, when appropriate to order some screening tests and not over-order. To me, that was a big helpful point.” Family Doctor, Sudbury I would say that my chronic pain patients, I don’t have a huge number.  They are my most challenging patients and I’ve got their faces in my brain.  [M]y top three probably take more brain and mental energy than the next 500 most challenging people.  […] I often felt quite helpless before ECHO.  [My patients] had seen all the specialists and the specialists had sent them all back to me with not a lot of help.  So with ECHO I feel like I’m getting the tools to better deal with them.  And I feel that if I have a challenging case, I can present to this panel of experts [and] I get good answers.  Or if I have a question about chronic pain, I can get it answered by an expert really easily.  So, it’s like I’ve got back-up for my hardest, most challenging people. Family Doctor, Southwestern Ontario “When [the recommendation sheet] came back, I did share that with my patient.  And my patient found that very validating and very helpful that the case was discussed.  And she actually took some piece that I had been struggling with her to actually follow through on.  She actually did follow through on, like some of the physiotherapy and some of the actual social work piece, because it was actually coming from the experts from ECHO – which I thought was neat.” Nurse Practitioner, Northwestern Ontario CONTACT US ECHO at UHN University Health Network Room: 2-019 550 University Ave, Toronto, Ontario M5G 2A2 E: [email protected] LATEST TWEETS RT @ECHOPaeds: "Nutritional Assessment of Children with Medical Complexity" #PrimaryCare providers/#HCPs, join dietitians Laura Vresk and J… June 06, 2023 6:23PM CONNECT WITH US COPYRIGHT 2026 Project ECHO UHN | Website Design by Inorbital Inc. × Now Open for registration!
