Centers of excellence in Osteoarthritis management in Latin-America: a proposal based on literature review
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent condition with significant clinical and epidemiological consequences, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. One potential solution is the establishment of specialized, comprehensive healthcare centers to address OA effectively. A previous initiative focused on the development of Centers of Excellence (CoEs) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and endorsed by the Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology (PANLAR), aimed to establish CoEs for select rheumatic conditions, providing a framework for their accreditation.
