Whether you work in a solo private practice, or a large health network, no doubt you're considering costs when it comes to deciding what to change and perhaps what to implement - or de-implement - in your practice. Perhaps you're in the position of making decisions on behalf of a health service or you are trying to quantify and communicate the costs and benefits of treatments you study in a research setting?

Today is part 1 of a 2-part chat with Dr Codie Primeau about health economics in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, which has something for everyone working in health care. We're covering how to read a health economics analysis to decide whether the analysis can help you navigate the complex decisions you're grappling with.

Dr Primeau is a physiotherapist and Assistant Professor in the School of Physical Therapy at Western University in London, Canada, and an Affiliate Scientist with Arthritis Research Canada. His research focuses on arthritis, chronic pain, and pelvic health, using a blend of qualitative and quantitative methods to improve patient care and outcomes, including health economics evaluation.
