In episode 10 of season 4 of Inside the Science, we’re highlighting the study, “More cost-effective management of patients with musculoskeletal disorders in primary care after direct triaging to physiotherapists for initial assessment compared to initial general practitioner assessment” with Dr. Lena Bornhoft. You’ll hear her explain a triage system steering patients to Physios as compared to medical doctors, what effect this simple change in who saw the patient first had on secondary costs, how we might apply this in our own markets, its clinical implications and the big takeaways.
