North East Joint Assessment Centre
The North East Joint Assessment Centre (NEJAC) is a service offered by TADH in partnership with participating hospitals in the North East: Health Sciences North, North Bay Regional Health Centre, Sault Area Hospital, West Parry Sound Health Centre and Manitoulin Health Centre. Upon receiving the referral, NEJAC staff will contact the patient to set up a consultation with the advanced practice physiotherapist. Acting as a liaison between patients and their health-care provider, they will conduct a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment followed by treatment options that make sense.
If it is determined that surgery is required, patients are given a choice between a preferred surgeon or the next available surgeon thereby reducing the wait time. If the patient is not ready or if surgery is deemed to be unnecessary, a comprehensive plan of care will be established allowing patients and their doctor or nurse practitioner to manage the symptoms.
If you suffer from hip, knee or shoulder pain, ask your doctor today about the NEJAC.
