Themes were mapped against improvement drivers mentioned in recent British primary/community MSK care policy directives. Finally, \"Draft Indicators\" were synthesized from common themes identified. Eleven overarching themes were synthesized: policy and governance; optimizing access and provision of care; staffing and spending; optimizing assessment and diagnosis; optimizing patient education and self-management; pharmacology and injection guideline adherence; optimizing personalized care; optimizing imaging, investigations, and referral; public health management relevant to MSK conditions; optimizing patient experience; and optimizing patient outcomes.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This review has identified common themes among QIs that focus on optimizing assessment, investigations, and treatment decisions for the primary/community care of MSK conditions. This work represents a valuable resource to commissioners, service managers, and clinicians internationally who resource, monitor, manage, assess, and rehabilitate individuals with MSK conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":8313,"journal":{"name":"Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142379978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
