Effective use of patient reported outcome data is critical for ensuring high quality care in RA and appropriately incorporating patients’ goals, concerns and values in making treatment decisions for arthritis medications. Dr. Navarro-Millán is developing an easy-to-use electronic tool for patients to report outcomes between office visits to promote shared-decision making with their rheumatologist. Dr. Iris Navarro- Millán's work will personalize arthritis-related treatment decisions and improve long-term arthritis-related outcomes for patients like Kasey.
