The American College of Rheumatology recommends early intervention and treating to a target of remission or low disease activity when possible, and tight control of disease activity requires frequent disease monitoring and adjustment of therapy. Furthermore, with increasing patient engagement requirements, implementing shared decision-making strategies is critical to improve clinical outcomes. This activity addresses these issues with 2 brief patient scenarios that will challenge your decision making and provide benchmarking against other rheumatology clinicians.
