Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Participants will be clinicians (n= 165) in geriatrics and family medicine clinics and a subset of patients (n=30). The study team will deliver education and resources to providers in a training session about Walk With Ease. After the provider training, providers will use the study resources to refer patients with arthritis to Walk With Ease. Healthcare provider participants will complete surveys after their first referral and at the end of the study (12-months). Patient participants who are referred to Walk With Ease through the OACareTools+ intervention will be invited to participate in interviews about their experience (6-weeks) with the referral process. Primary endpoints of the study will be 1) number of healthcare providers that referred patients to Walk With Ease 2) number of Walk With Ease patient participants 3) healthcare provider acceptability and feasibility 4) patient acceptability of the intervention.
