Clinical Trial Summary

To increase patient safety culture in spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) this study will assess the ability to implement an active surveillance reporting system for a chiropractic teaching clinic and determining preliminary incidence of adverse events (AE) following SMT performed by the chiropractic interns. Adverse events defined for the primary outcome of this study is any new or worsening symptom following a chiropractic encounter.


Description:

Healthcare systems acknowledge the importance of patient safety including the reduction of preventable adverse events (AE). For healthcare providers who perform spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), the investigation of AEs remains in its infancy for several reasons including finding a reporting system that accurately collects AEs information, varied descriptions of AE's severity and occurrence frequency and the variable natural history of musculoskeletal conditions treated by SMT. Together, these factors act together to conspire against the implementation of systematic changes in SMT application that would result in improved patient care and safety. In addition, it is vital that patient safety training initiates at the start of a healthcare worker's career. This pilot active surveillance study was designed to assess the feasibility of collecting data on patients' self-report of symptom changes as well as interns' report at a chiropractic teaching clinic.
