NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 10, 2021 / Best In Class MD (BICMD), a leading provider of expert medical advice announces Guided Clinical Pathways program, an at-home digital therapy program where clients are directly advised through video consultations by the nation's top physicians.
The Guided Clinical Pathways program, intended for employers and health plans, leverages a mission-driven partnership with Limber. Limber's client application was purpose-built for at-home digital therapy using evidence-based clinical guidelines.
Unlike other digital therapy programs, Guided Clinical Pathways are directly managed by the nation's preeminent musculoskeletal physicians, coordinated through Best In Class MD's physician network. In a typical digital therapy pathway, a client referred to physical therapy has little-to-no contact with medical doctors who can provide valuable oversight. In the Guided Clinical Pathways program, patients are initially screened for clinical appropriateness and then continuously monitored on their clinical journey using validated outcome measures and clinical triggers. Patients demonstrating clinical improvement delays are routed to a musculoskeletal specialist for a digital consultation.
The unique partnership between Best In Class MD and Limber represents a new standard for treating and managing MSK conditions using evidence-based medicine and clinical oversight. Both companies are co-founded by doctors in orthopedics and rehabilitation. Best In Class MD is composed of only the top 1% of medical specialists based on their training, years in practice, and industry reputation.
Best In Class MD's Co-Founder Dr Benedict Nwachukwu, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery, shared his insights: "At Best In Class MD, we have the deepest roster of musculoskeletal clinicians providing digital expert medical opinions. We are excited to partner our physicians with Limber's digital therapy solution. We believe that our combined offering represents the most comprehensive musculoskeletal solution on the market".
Over 50% of Americans suffer from a musculoskeletal condition, costing employers over 120 billion dollars per year. Back and neck pain alone causes over 290 million missed workdays per year in the U.S.
Employers, payers, injured workers, and others are often left wondering whether a costly surgery is appropriate or if an extended course of therapy is making any difference. The Guided Clinical Pathways program integrates expert medical minds, convenient digital modalities, and evidence-based medicine to provide assurance that every participant receives the most appropriate and most cost-effective care, every time.
Guided programs are available for all major musculoskeletal conditions. The programs improve range of motion, advance strength, minimize risk of future injury, and - if needed - connect a user to a surgical center of excellence for further treatment.
