Estimating the Cost and Carbon Output of Musculoskeletal Primary Care Management Decisions: A Retrospective Analysis of Electronic Health Records
This is the first study, we are aware of, that presents data on both the environmental and economic impact of the primary care of non-inflammatory MSK pain. Future work should focus on benchmarking the cost and carbon output of MSK care pathways and standardising methods that are implemented to influence sustainable practice and policy development.
