A mixed methods study to investigate needs assessment for knee pain and disability: population and individual perspectives

Jinks, Clare; Nio Ong, Bie; Richardson, Jane

Abstract

The new Musculoskeletal Services Framework outlines the importance of health care needs assessment. Our aim was to provide a model for this for knee pain and disability, describing felt need (individual assessment of a need for health care) and expressed need (demand for health care). This intelligence is required by health care planners in order to implement the new Framework.
