NACDD is excited to share our progress in developing an evidence-informed public health framework for collaborative arthritis management and wellbeing developed in collaboration with CDC and other partners. Together, we are working to empower healthcare providers in conducting function, pain, and physical activity assessments, offering brief advice on the benefits of physical activity, and facilitating referrals to Arthritis-Appropriate, Evidence-Based interventions.
Key Updates:
- Drawing recommendations from a landscape assessment to guide the Arthritis Expert Panel and Design Team.
- Convening the Arthritis Expert Panel and Design Team to shape a robust framework for arthritis management and wellbeing.
Whatās Next:
- In 2024, weāre gearing up to pilot this framework with the Iowa Community HUB (CHPcommunity) and their health system partner, Primary Health Care in Des Moines.
