Habit Health Musculoskeletal Integrated Care Pathway (ICP-MSK)

Ensure fast access to treatment for patients with significant back, knee or shoulder injury

Is your patient eligible?
ICP musculoskeletal programmes provide fully funded rehabilitation for patients with:

How does ICP-MSK work?

Step 1: Initial Triage Assessment Patients are seen by a Senior Physiotherapist and Specialist who conducts a comprehensive MSK Triage Assessment to confirm diagnosis and that they meet the entry criteria.

Step 2: Recovery Plan The rehabilitation team develops the recovery plan alongside the patient, identifying their specific goals.

Step 3: Rehabilitation and Specialist Oversight A dedicated Health Navigator coordinates with the client, specialists, return-to-work providers and other team members. We work with over 200 specialists and 600 physios and a wide range of allied health professionals throughout New Zealand.

Step 4: Recovery and Testing Once the patient meets their rehabilitation goals, a comprehensive physical assessment is completed. This includes return to play testing, the collection of the PREMS, PROMS and other rehabilitation outcomes, and the completion of a discharge summary.
