Motor vehicle injuries: economic evaluation of a new treatment modality (ARC Linkage Project led by the Australian National University) (2008-2016)
Abstract
This project will undertake an economic evaluation of a new approach to assessment and treatment of soft tissue injuries following motor vehicle accidents in the ACT. A study is currently underway to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a multidisciplinary specialised referral clinic, supported by an education program for people injured in motor vehicle accidents in the ACT. The results of this study will provide the framework for an economic analysis of the new treatment modality relative to the current or 'treatment as usual' situation.
