Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. 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.)?
2. 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.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Retrospective (Pre-Intervention)
Participants in this arm were treated for carpal tunnel syndrome before the Carpal Tunnel Plus Pathway was implemented.
No interventions assigned to this group
Prospective (Post-Intervention)
Participants in this arm were treated for carpal tunnel syndrome after the Carpal Tunnel Plus Pathway was implemented.
Changes to the care pathway for carpal tunnel syndrome (The Carpal Tunnel Plus Pathway)
Changes to the care pathway for carpal tunnel syndrome. Features of the CTS+ pathway include new referral form, care map for mild, moderate and severe CTS established, point or care ultrasound with steroid injection introduced, and expedited referral to surgeons.
