Care of Musculoskeletal Injuries — Procedures Your Patients Need and Others They Don’t
Activity description
The management of musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries can present a challenge due to the wide variety of potential treatment options. This live webcast will review the identification of specific injuries and conditions that necessitate early specialist intervention and those that can be safely managed without specialist care. Definitions and examples of low-value and high-value MSK care, along with discussion of the influences of the biopsychosocial model of MSK pain, will provide participants with practical strategies to streamline patient management.
