  7. 5) Where do you practice? 57% HRM = 1Valley =2South Shore = 3Southern NS = 4Northern NS = 5Eastern Mainland = 6Cape Breton = 7 14% 11% 8% 8%

  8. 6) On average how many WCB visits do you bill per week? 54% 24% 1 = 0 2 = 1 - 5 3 = 6 – 15 4 = 16 – 25 16% 5%

  9. 7) Are you currently satisfied with the current service agreement you currently have with WCB for the provision of Chiropractic care to your patients? 71% 1 = very satisfied 2 = somewhat satisfied 3 = very unsatisfied 4 = I do not treat WCB 22% 8%

  10. 8 ) How important do you think it is for the NSCC to develop and sustain favourable WCB relationships within Nova Scotia? 76% 1 = very important 2 = somewhat important 3 = not important 4 = I don't know 22%

  11. 9 ) Currently, the Nova Scotia WCB has a service contract with most Physiotherapists that follows the MDA guide-lines and incorporates a function-based return to work model. Treatment provided within this model follows disability duration timelines and focuses on discharging the patient to return to work. If offered the opportunity to participate within this type of model (assuming that adequate training be offered), how likely would you be to participate within it? 59% 24% 1 = very likely 2 = somewhat likely 3 = not likely 16%

  12. 10 ) WHAT IF:To maintain our service agreement with WCB, we were required to measure our patient’s functional ability through “functional scan testing”. How likely would you be to participate in this? 46% 30% 24% 1= Very likely 2 = Somewhat likely 3 = Not at all

  13. 11) WHAT IF:To maintain our service agreement with WCB, we were required to measure our patient’s functional ability using the services of Occupational Therapists. 73% 1= Very likely 2 = Somewhat likely 3 = Not at all 19% 8%

  14. NEXT STEPS? • Full inclusion within the WCB’s RTW • Chiropractic Service Provision Contract • Better for access to care for workers • Improved relationships • Improved outcomes • Improved compensation for service provided
