Risk-stratified and stepped models of care for back pain and osteoarthritis: are we heading towards a common model? (2020)
Journal Article
Hill, J. (2020). Risk-stratified and stepped models of care for back pain and osteoarthritis: are we heading towards a common model?. PAIN Reports, e843 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1097/PR9.0000000000000843

The overall quality of care for musculoskeletal pain conditions is suboptimal, partly due to a considerable evidence-practice gap. In osteoarthritis and low back pain, structured models of care exist to help overcome that challenge. In osteoarthritis...
