The principal conclusion of the report is that greater OHIP coverage of chiropractic services is part of the solution to a set of three interrelated problems:
(a) high health care costs for neuromusculoskeletal conditions and injuries
(b) inadequate and inequitable access to such services
(c) poor or worrisome health outcomes of medically managed neuromusculoskeletal diseases, illnesses or injuries.
JULIEN : Le point « c » suggère que l’étude veut aussi répondre à « est-ce que la chiropratique fait mieux »
The patients are steered to medical doctors resulting in higher
costs and, often, *poorer health outcomes*.
As we pointed out earlier, four out of five patients of chiropractors have had their problems for more than six months and have typically had medical and/or hysiotherapy care before their visit to the chiropractor. This fact alone calls for the kind of reform we have analyzed here.
This means that chiropractic care can bring about *improved health outcomes* at a lower cost.
JULIEN : Ils doivent pas être si charlatan que ça ?
Vous voyez pourquoi c'est "Cost-effectivenness"? Ça fait MIEUX pour moins cher, c'est pas assez clair?
