„Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark“ (GLA:D^®) in Deutschland

GLA:D^® steht für „Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark“. GLA:D^® wurde entwickelt, um die Behandlung von Arthrose im Knie- und Hüftgelenk zu standardisieren und somit eine adäquate Versorgung zu gewährleisten. Auch in Deutschland wird dieses evidenzbasierte Programm seit 2023 nach und nach in die Versorgung implementiert. Doch wie können Patient*innen in den Genuss dieses Programms kommen und welche Voraussetzungen sind dafür nötig? Der erste Schritt führt über eine ärztliche Konsultation, die auch online stattfinden kann.
