Osteoarthritis Treatment Options in Primary Care

PEER Simplified Decision Aid

The PEER Simplified Decision Aid: Osteoarthritis Treatment Options in Primary Care and the PEER Umbrella Systematic Review of Systematic Reviews: Managing Osteoarthritis in Primary Care have been developed for clinicians to compare and discuss the evidence surrounding patient responses to non-surgical treatments for those living with osteoarthritis-related pain.

Description and Information

Release Date: March-2020

Title: PEER Simplified Decision Aid: Osteoarthritis Treatment Options in Primary Care

Description: The decision aid was developed for clinicians to help them discuss non-operative treatment options with patients living with osteoarthritis-related pain. It is derived from a systematic review of systematic reviews. Effectiveness data are generated from randomized controlled trials comparing active treatment with inert control, often placebo. The evidence focuses on the proportion of patients attaining meaningful reductions in pain, generally defined as a 30% or more reduction in pain, but specific definitions of clinically meaningful vary widely across studies

Target Population: Adults over 18 years of age with osteoarthritis

My name is Smitha Yaltho and I feel privileged to work as a family physician. Why? I believe that being a family physician has been the best job any physician can hope to have. I have personally grown in my own abilities and skill-sets with diverse opportunities in ambulatory practice, acute care and work in Facility Living.  Working in primary care has been exciting and has also afforded me tremendous opportunities for growth while still remaining stimulating in its complexity.  I believe that Family physicians are trusted partners in patient care –  every step of the way. 

Why are you volunteering to serve on this committee?
I currently have an interest in Physician Leadership and  trauma informed care.  I have served as a director with the Board of Directors with the Edmonton North PCN, Edmonton’s largest PCN. Thereafter, I have worked as the Director of Medical Services with CapitalCare (also based in Edmonton) for almost 6 years. It is my express wish that my contribution on the ACFP board of directors will highlight the excellence of family medicine that exists right here and now within the Alberta health care system. 

What about the ACFP’s work do you find most valuable?
Ability to highlight and further support the excellence of primary care right here in Alberta.
