Service Level Decision ‐making in Rural Physiotherapy: Development of Conceptual Models

ConclusionsRural physiotherapy SLDM is not a one‐dimensional process but results from the complex interaction of clusters of systems issues. Decision‐making about physiotherapy service provision is influenced by both internal and external factors. Similarities in influencing factors and the iterative nature of decision‐making emerged, which enabled linking physiotherapy SLDM with clinical decision‐making and placing both within the broader healthcare context. The conceptual models provide a way of thinking about decisions informing rural physiotherapy service provision. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
