简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the impact of a new care pathway (the Carpal Tunnel Plus Pathway) in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What was the effect of the Carpal Tunnel Plus Pathway on wait times between each step of the care pathway (e.g. from referral to initial consult, from initial consult to surgical consult, etc.)?
- How satisfied are patients with the care they received through the Carpal Tunnel Plus Pathway?
Researchers will compare wait times pre- and post- Pathway implementation to see if there was any change.
Participants will be asked to complete a short patient satisfaction survey.

结局指标
主要结局
Wait times
时间窗: From initial referral to surgery/injection (variable, but approximately 9 months)
Time between each step of the care pathway (e.g. from referral to EMG/neurologic consultation, from referral to surgical consultation, from surgical consultation to surgery)
Patient satisfaction
时间窗: Immediately after surgery/injection appointment
Patients will be asked to complete a short questionnaire to indicate their level of satisfaction with the care that they received. The custom survey will consist of 4 questions on various aspects of their care that participants will rate on a scale of 1-5 (1 = not at all satisfied, 5 = very satisfied).
