The use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures with patients in a musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapy setting to enhance Shared Decision Making

Abstract

Purpose: The pilot was undertaken as part of a service evaluation. The aim was to benchmark the use of Shared Decision Making (SDM) in patient care within an integrated musculoskeletal setting. The objective was to determine how each person using a Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) of the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) or Oxford Hip Score (OHS) scored and how the outcome of their consultation including SDM compared to their predicted level of intervention.
