Arthritis for Health Care Providers

As a health care provider, you can make a positive difference in the lives of patients with arthritis. 

Health Care Provider Arthritis Education Resources

OACareTool 

The Osteoarthritis Action Alliance (OAAA) has developed a Health Care Provider Education Toolkit designed to: 

• Increase healthcare providers’ knowledge about osteoarthritis (OA), including its management and treatment options. 

• Offer patient-facing handouts that are easy to understand and encourage patient education. 

• Provide self-management resources that help empower patients to take an active role in managing their OA through lifestyle changes, exercise, weight management, and other evidence-based strategies. 

This toolkit is a valuable resource for both clinicians and patients, supporting a collaborative approach to OA care. It aligns with OAAA’s broader mission to reduce the burden of osteoarthritis through education, awareness, and community-based interventions.
