U.S. Bone and Joint Initiative Summit Examines Quality of Patient-Centered Musculoskeletal Care

Dr. Pisetsky hopes the report brings attention to the importance of patient-centered care and encourages providers to establish or refine systems addressing the needs of patients with musculoskeletal conditions and their families. He also feels the report will provide a blueprint for advocacy activities at all levels from contact with a provider to interactions with large systems and governmental agencies.

“With quality as a key goal in musculoskeletal care, the report will provide important guidance on reaching it,” Dr. Pisetsky says.
