Primary preventive health care services remain underutilized, contributing to an increased risk of secondary complications. Three broad themes have been identified that limit primary care providers (PCPs) in providing good quality care: physical barriers; attitudes, knowledge, and expertise; and systemic barriers. Making significant physical alterations in every primary care clinic is not realistic, but solutions such as seeking out community partnerships that offer accessibility or transportation and scheduling appointments around an individual\u2019s needs can mitigate some access issues. Resources that improve provider and staff disability literacy and communication skills should be emphasized. PCPs should also seek out easily accessible practice tools (SCI-specific toolkit, manuals, modules, quick reference guides, and other educational materials) to address any knowledge gaps. From a systemic perspective, it is important to recognize community SCI resources and develop collaboration between primary, secondary, and tertiary care services that can benefit SCI patients. Providers can address some of these barriers that lead to inequitable health care practices and in turn provide good quality, patient-centered care for such vulnerable groups. This article serves to assist PCPs in identifying the challenges of providing equitable care to SCI individuals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.46292\/sci2602-79","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,2]],"date-time":"2020-10-02T09:42:56Z","timestamp":1601631776000},"page":"79-84","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A Primary Care Provider\u2019s Guide to Accessibility After Spinal Cord Injury"],"prefix":"10.46292","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Joseph","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Centre for Family Medicine, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jithin","family":"Varghese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Centre for Family Medicine, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rose","family":"Brooks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Craig Hospital, Engelwood, Colorado"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin J.","family":"Turpen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington, DC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"25425","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"i1082-0744-26-2-79-b1","series-title":"Am J Phys Med Rehabil","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"289","DOI":"10.1097\/PHM.0b013e31824ad2fd","article-title":"The Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation: Report of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury discharged from rehabilitation programs in 2002\u20132010","volume":"91","year":"2012","unstructured":"Granger\n C V\n , KarmarkarAM, GrahamJE, \n et al.
