(AUDIO) A new effort by the United States Bone and Joint Initiative will take a close look at how primary care doctors and other clinicians currently collaborate (or not) to treat osteoarthritis patients, with a view toward recommending necessary changes. Here Dr. Kim Templeton, president of the Initiative and professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center looks toward a change in the paradigm.
The questions:
What does it mean to change the paradigm of osteoarthritis treatment?
What’s prompting this proposed change?
Specifically what might this mean for the management of osteoarthritis in primary care?
