75% Informative

The Shoulder Care Access Project (SCAP) Clinic bases its model on an online self-referral tool — a web questionnaire that patients can fill online that specialists can use to make a diagnosis.

The idea is to see how often the diagnosis made remotely matches up to that concluded from an in-person examination.

SCAP also tests how necessary it is for the patient to see a surgeon, which Mohtadi says is often not the case.

The clinic has already been operational for months , starting in late August 2024 and collecting data since January of this year .

It’s already at full capacity, with staff seeing 15 new patients a week , alongside follow-up visits.

The clinic will run for another year , after which data will be evaluated.
