General practitioners experience multi-level barriers to implementing recommended care for hip and knee osteoarthritis: a qualitative study
Despite having good knowledge of guideline-recommended care, GPs in our study experienced multi-level barriers to implementing this care in practice. Public health information and strategies to address patient's beliefs and lack of motivation to exercise may help reduce barriers to engaging in appropriate care. Urgent health system funding reforms are needed to allow GPs to appropriately manage patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis.
