Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to create a consensus statement on high-value care for musculoskeletal conditions, involving a rapid literature review, surveys, and interviews with physiotherapists in Australia.
- The results identified two primary definitions of care, four key domains of high-value care, and several themes highlighting high-quality care necessary for patient treatment.
- The final consensus outlined three working definitions, a comprehensive model of high-value care, and emphasized that high-quality care should prioritize patient value and safety while being efficient and evidence-based.
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) results in hypoxia in around a fifth of adult patients. Severe hypoxia in the absence of visible respiratory distress ('silent hypoxia') is increasingly recognised in these patients. There are no published data evaluating lowest recorded pre-hospital oxygen saturation or pre-hospital National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) as a predictor of outcome in patients with COVID-19.
