Résumé
Introduction
The Measures Associated to PrognoStic (MAPS) tool is a standardized questionnaire that integrates validated prognostic tools to detect the presence of biopsychosocial prognostic factors in patients consulting for musculoskeletal disorders.
Purpose
The objectives were to assess the: 1) feasibility of implementation of the MAPS tool, 2) clinicians’ acceptability of the dashboard, and 3) patients’ acceptability of the MAPS tool.
Methods
Twenty physiotherapists and two occupational therapists from seven outpatient musculoskeletal clinics were recruited to implement the MAPS tool during a 3-month timeframe, where new patients completed the questionnaire upon initial assessment. The results were presented to the clinicians via a dashboard. Surveys and semi-structured interviews were conducted to measure feasibility and acceptability.
Results
Six out of 11 feasibility criteria (55%) and 21 out of 24 acceptability criteria (88%) reached the a priori threshold for success. The interviews allowed us to identify three main themes to facilitate implementation: 1) limiting the burden, 2) ensuring patients’ understanding of the tool’s purpose, and 3) integrating the dashboard as a clinical information tool.
Conclusion
Our quantitative and qualitative results support the feasibility of implementation and acceptability of the MAPS tool pending minor adjustments. Depicting the patients’ prognostic profile has the potential to help clinicians optimize their interventions for patients presenting with musculoskeletal disorders.
