What does high value care for musculoskeletal conditions mean and how do you apply it in practice? A consensus statement from a research network of physiotherapists in New South Wales, Australia.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To develop a physiotherapist-led consensus statement on the definition and provision of high-value care for people with musculoskeletal conditions.
