Lower back pain is one of the problems that affect an individual at any age. Hong et al. (2017) consider lower back pain as a healthcare problem that can be treated. According to Hong et al. (2017), LBP is defined as pain, muscle tension, and stiffness that is localized below the costal margin. The symptoms of non-specific lower back pain are featured by the rising rates of disability. Thus, care planning system is one of the methods that has been widely applied in nursing care practice. The system offers a platform for a direct contact between the patients and healthcare providers.
Care planning systems can be applied in the management of LBP. However, more effort is required to enhance the measures that aid care. Significant challenges have emerged in analyzing the early identification of patients at risk for the complications associated with LBP prevention (Hong et al., 2017). Healthcare professionals use a variety of diagnostic labels for example, physicians could use clinical care planning to analyze critical scenarios associated with LBP. Treatment interventions vary based on the nature and severity of the back pain. In many cases, the role of treatment guidelines has been influential in promoting advanced care practice as featured by the current methods applied in managing back pain among the elderly.

Evidence-based practice is widely applied in managing LBP and EBP implementation also impacted the way nurses respond to complexities linked to back pain. A compelling need to find better management methods of lower back pain has called for advanced patient care practices noted across most healthcare facilities (Li et al., 2019). Incorporation of care planning systems into healthcare facilitated the success of LBP management. Translating knowledge into problem-solving activities requires an in-depth analysis to promote dynamic outcomes as featured by a rising number of complexities linked to lower back pain.
The study applied to cross-sectional study to analyze the different ways in which BP promote patients’ outcomes. The participants showed symptoms of LBP while others already encountered different scenarios of back pain. Care planning system will facilitate measures required to maintain healthy communities (Li et al., 2019). It is one of the methods that has been used in creating awareness and enhancing prompt response to critical issues affecting communities. The systems have also ensured that the right nursing practice is applied to address the rising threats and disabilities associated with lower back pain.
The results showed that care planning systems play an essential role in managing LBP. It tests new theories and provides an appropriate guideline required to promote quality service delivery. Apart from the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation, it is evident that additional knowledge is needed to manage the rising effect of LBP. The disability was found to be the most detrimental condition that affected most of the patients above the age of 45 years (Li et al., 2019). Most of the participants under this group showed inactivity in terms of physical fitness. Therefore, additional research should be conducted to find new ways of incorporating physical fitness as part of treatment intervention to lower back pain.

Care planning systems was considered as an essential technology to adequate care delivery. The study conducted by Simula et al. (2020) analyzed different methods that were applied in addressing critical scenarios associated with the conditions. The study further reviewed the interventions applied to address the current case of lower back pain. Due to the multidimensional risk associated with the condition, the study focused on different ways that clinical practice benefited patients with LBP.
The study used benchmarking controlled trial to monitor different ways that the patients responded to critical issues affecting their livelihoods. It studied 50 participants with different cases of LBP (Simula et al., 2020). The strategy to review different outcomes and conditions was also featured from the methods applied in minimizing cases of LBP. While the current interventions applied by the healthcare professionals have been effective, it is evident that additional research is required to monitor the increasing risk of LBP and the rising cases of disability are linked to LBP.
The efficiency of quality care is also featured when physicians and nurses apply new knowledge in addressing the rising risk linked to LBP. According to Simula et al. (2020), care planning systems have promoted adequate care delivery. The major concerns linked to LBP have been featured by the increasing risk factors and physical inactivity. The effect of sedentary lifestyles and improper health evaluation strategies has contributed to the rising cases of LBP. As a result, EBP has offered a platform where the existing knowledge can be applied. The study showed that EBP has significantly facilitated the management of LBP among the elderly. The impact of healthcare practice plays a significant role in impacting the targeted populations and the range at which nursing personnel contributes to patient experience during treatment.

LBP contributed to over 57.6 million cases of disability (Shipton, 2018). Current treatment interventions had focused on relieving pain while failing to offer lasting (Shipton, 2018). The study took a cross-sectional approach to study different ways that participants responded to new treatment interventions. Therefore, the care planning systems and evidence-based research will ensure that the right skills are applied in addressing critical situations that contributed to increased cases of LBP.
The study’s purpose was to analyze the changing trends that were noted after the introduction of new treatment methods. According to Shipton (2018), lower back pain treatment recommends using physical exercise as an active treatment intervention. Passive treatment methods are also recommended this include the use of medication. However, the current interventions have not provided lasting solutions to the rising crisis and disabilities associated with LBP. Apart from physical exercise, healthy diets are also recommended along with an active lifestyle. The prevention program aims to reduce LBP cases that arise from poor lifestyles and activity. Moreover, the need to create awareness on the LBP assessment is important in detecting early cases of lower back pain.
Evidence-based nursing could address the current problems noted in managing cases of LBP. The study aimed to describe the status and related factors of evidence-based practice. The study showed that EBP improved the quality of healthcare delivery and competency among nurses. Evidence-based nursing plays a significant role in promoting advanced practice in a clinical setting. Supporting nurses in delivering adequate care is essential in any healthcare setting. The efforts to incorporate EBP into nursing are essential in enhancing patients’ experience in achieving recovery outcomes.
EBP has rapidly improved the practice and procedures to promote recovery and pain relief interventions associated with back pain. Furthermore, the introduction of new treatment interventions requires a regular review that should be analyzed based on the patients’ responses. As Shipton (2018) explained, the current guideline for Lower Back Pain offers high-quality outcomes based on the nature of the treatment models applied in addressing lower back pain. The study aimed to review the current guidelines and other measures recommended to improve the rates of lower back pain. Most of the treatment options focused on pain relief practices.
However, the response and improvements were lower, and this raised concerns on the need to find better ways of introducing new interventions into the treatment strategy. Technology innovation and extensive clinical research have acted as the primary elements that define LBP management’s outcomes. The need to introduce additional methods played a significant role in boosting competitive clinical practices required to manage the condition.
Clinical records were reviewed along with additional strategies that aimed to improve the treatment of LBP. Patient education systems provide a platform to create awareness and improve healthcare outcomes explained that patient education systems improved the quality of information assessment and ability of the patients. The efficiency of the patient education system plays an important role in providing an opportunity for the nurses to address the key challenges affecting patient’s ability to adhere to the required guideline in preventing the causes of LBP. The study demonstrated that patient education promotes a quality lifestyle. It offers an opportunity for the patients to access the right healthcare services with the purpose of reducing the detrimental effects of the disease. Lower back pain is one of the conditions that require increased awareness. It has become public health concern that needs holistic approaches.
National Health Service has focused on improving access to information plays an essential role in delivering the right sources of information. The software system provides the right platform to improve patients’ outcomes in terms of information access.
Delivering quality information to the patients is important in reducing the rates of LBP. Providing informative services is essential in addressing complexities that could affect people with underlying health conditions. Health issues such as hypertension and spine injury predispose a person to critical cases of lower back pain. Introducing awareness programs is crucial in promoting quality service access. Besides analyzing the outcomes of new treatment interventions promote the prevention of the rising cases of LBP. Developing other software programs is important in achieving treatment goals and outcomes.
Conclusion
The current technology supports patient education through an online platform. It also ensures that patients access information required to promote quality healthcare access. Disability has become a major threat associated with LBP in an attempt to reduce the side effect of the conditions. Quality access to prevention measures plays a significant role in reducing cases of LBP. The idea of using care planning systems has also improved timely access to treatment interventions. The step has ensured that disabilities are reduced significantly. Applying technology in creating awareness is essential since it offers an opportunity to monitor different trends that the patients respond to treatment.
