Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators are interested in measuring the influence of addressing sleep in the orthopedic setting. This includes assessing patient experience measures (satisfaction with the visit, perceived empathy, communication effectiveness) as well as greater engagement in their healthcare (patient activation). The investigators will also see what factors might be associated with sleep disturbance and if addressing sleep leads to an intervention such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
Detailed Description
All adult (18+ years old) new patients seeing a musculoskeletal specialist will be invited to enroll. For the purposes of this trial, The investigators will include people with lesser degrees of sleep disturbance including anyone with a score greater than 3.
