16397 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for ACC: What digital tools or technologies are employed, if any, in the Integrated Care Pathways Musculoskeletal programme for arthritis management, and how are they integrated into the technical workflow across districts?

Hon Scott Simpson: I am advised that suppliers have the discretion to use tools and technologies, such as exercise and rehabilitation applications or protocols, based on their clinical judgment to determine what is necessary and best for optimising a client’s recovery. This includes clients in the Integrated Care Pathways Musculoskeletal programme for post-traumatic osteoarthritis management (where clients are eligible).
