Service Organization Plan for Proper Care of Patients with a Suspected Scoliosis

The research team is interested in creating a health services organizational plan to ensure that Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients are seen in a timely manner in pediatric orthopedic clinics. More precisely, this project aims to develop a decision-making tool kit that will include guidelines concerning the referral of pediatric patients with suspected AIS and their front line care as well as a template reference form and a list of regional resources in musculoskeletal health.
