Summary

To support the referral of people with Hand Osteoarthritis (HOA) to evidence-based occupational therapy addressing decreased ADL ability, a cross-sectorial management program for people with HOA, named HANDY, was developed. The HANDY program includes procedures for needs evaluation and referral, and a group-based occupational therapy program. The development was based on the United Kingdom's Medical Research Councils recommendations. A core element is involvement of stakeholders. Therefore, the research group has worked closely with GPs, OTs, people with HOA and specialist within rheumatology. Through a co-productional process the HANDY program was developed based on theories, research evidence, current best practice and the preferences of people with HOA. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the HANDY
