We are pleased to announce we have a new STarT MSK Calculator available now to Vision+ users and will be available to download for Vision Anywhere soon.
Common musculoskeletal pain can cause considerable problems for people, often having great costs to both the individual and society as a whole. Effective treatments exist, but often practitioners find it difficult to match the right patient to the right treatment using clinical intuition. Keele University has designed a tool that categorises patients as low, medium or high risk of a poor outcome. Work is currently ongoing within a new study at Keele; The STarT MSK Trial (TAPS), to test whether matching treatments to the different categories of risk is better than usual care.
The STart MSK calculator has 10 items that ask about predictors of poor outcomes for a range of conditions.
To access the new STart MSK calculator, from Consultation Manager, select Vision+ from the floating toolbar and select Calculators- Other-STarT MSK.

We are on a continuous journey, delivering new tools and extra functionality to our customers, and are currently working on a number of calculators which we will share with you over the coming weeks, so that you can continue to work smarter, not harder.
