cord-012629-655dmp7c	Stillman, Michael	Communication with general practitioners: a survey of spinal cord injury physicians’ perspectives	2019-05-13		.txt	text/plain	2473	116	47	Many people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) receive care from both SCI specialists and general practitioners (GPs). In this study, we distributed a survey assessing SCI specialists' interest in and assessment of their communication with GPs, and whether these communications are influenced by the economies and the health-care systems in which they work. Nearly all respondents (91.6%) felt that the care they provided to their patients with SCI would be enhanced by improved communication with GPs. Among the participants who routinely communicated with their patients' GPs (n = 47), 40.0% reported primarily corresponding by mail or fax and 28.9% by phone (15.6% through EHR, 11.1% in person, and 4.4% through other secure messaging systems). Neither participants' home nations' economic status nor the type of health-care system in which they worked influenced whether their patients also saw a GP, their comfort with serving as a GP for individuals with SCI, whether they routinely communicated with GPs, or their means of communicating with GPs. In grouping certain answers for analysis, several significant associations emerged.	./cache/cord-012629-655dmp7c.txt	./txt/cord-012629-655dmp7c.txt
