PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In the current rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment landscape, there are many treatment options available, but as RA is a chronic disease, many patients may not always respond adequately or fully to their initial or ongoing treatments. Choosing appropriate treatment remains a challenge, particularly in cases of inadequate understanding of various treatment profiles and recommendations along with an ongoing lack of expert consensus. Over the past few years, comparative effectiveness trials and treat-to-target approaches have become essential needs in RA in order to deliver the most appropriate care on an individualized basis. It is imperative that healthcare professionals understand these unmet needs, and how overcoming them can favorably affect treatment decisions and patient outcomes.
