Diagnosis and management of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases in Dutch nursing homes: a qualitative study among healthcare professionals

Lead clinicians experience challenges in diagnosing and managing RMDs in nursing home residents and therefore often rely on physiotherapists. Treatment is pragmatic and individualized with limited use of pharmacological options. Better education on RMDs and improved interdisciplinary collaboration are considered important for optimizing the management and care of nursing home residents.

Abstract

Lead clinicians experience challenges in diagnosing and managing RMDs in nursing home residents and therefore often rely on physiotherapists. Treatment is pragmatic and individualized with limited use of pharmacological options. Better education on RMDs and improved interdisciplinary collaboration are considered important for optimizing the management and care of nursing home residents.
