Summary

This project aims to bridge the gap between guideline recommendations and clinical practice in osteoarthritis (OA) management. By implementing a systematic, evidence-based model of care, the project seeks to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and provide equitable access to care. The project consists of three phases. In the first phase the current OA care is mapped through registry review and questionnaires and interviews of patients and healthcare professionals. In the second, implementation phase of the project, a plan will be created how to support healthcare professionals in delivering care according to the new model of care and training and support will be offered according to the plan. In the third phase of the project, the implementation success will be evaluated, and the costs of OA care evaluated and compared to baseline data. In addition, patient-reported data will be collected from those patients, who participate in the group-based exercise and education program.
