Recommended Musculoskeletal Indicator Set launched
Arthritis Research UK has worked in partnership with the musculoskeletal community, as part of NHS England and the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance’s (ARMA) Musculoskeletal (MSK) programme, to create the recommended MSK Indicator Set; a standard set of indicators for musculoskeletal health systems relevant to people with MSK conditions and commissioners.
The list of indicators and final report are both available to view and download. The Recommended MSK Indicator Set reflects the agreed objectives for musculoskeletal health systems and is a mixture of generic and condition-specific indicators that includes both process and outcome measures. These indicators are intended to be used for local analysis which will highlight the reasons for variation.
