Rheumatologists Turn to Social Media to Educate Patients & Combat Misinformation

Linda Childers  |  October 12, 2023

When Taylor Warmoth, MD, a rheumatologist with Arthritis and Osteoporosis Associates (AOA), Lubbock, Texas, posted her first educational video on TikTok in 2022, she anticipated a moderate response. She was surprised when her medical assistant informed her the next day that her video had received over 5,000 views, 800 comments, and her account had gained…

Large Language Models in Medicine: The potential to reduce workloads, leverage the EMR for better communication & more

Jacqueline Jansz, MD, & Peter T. Sadelski, JD  |  May 17, 2023

Large language models are a type of AI that allows users to generate new content, drawing from a huge dataset to learn how to mimic “natural language” with many possible beneficial applications for this technology in medicine.

Telehealth Brings Opportunities to Enhance Patient Care

Ruth Jessen Hickman, MD  |  December 8, 2022

During an ACR webinar in August, presenters discussed multiple aspects of telehealth in rheumatology, especially related to rheumatology fellowship training. They agreed that although telehealth represents one potential avenue to improve patient access to treatment for rheumatic disease, we must keep identifying the best ways to employ telehealth to enhance care. Impact of Pandemic Telemedicine…

Self-Initiated Care May Reduce Workforce Gap

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  November 7, 2022

Seppen et al. developed a smartphone application for patients with RA to assess the safety and efficacy of patient-initiated care, compared with usual care. By answering a weekly Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) questionnaire, patients were able to monitor their own disease activity between clinic visits.

Exploring the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Rheumatology

Bharat Kumar, MD, MME, FACP, RhMSUS  |  November 4, 2022

To longtime readers, those two sentences may sound both familiar and alien, perhaps even a little humorous. That’s because those sentences were generated entirely by a computer using artificial intelligence (AI). It was simple, too: I just copied the text of 120 previous Rheuminations columns and entered them into a freely accessible, online AI software…

How to Rev Up Your Remote Instruction

Laura E. Ray, MA, MLS, on behalf of the ARP E-Learning Subcommittee of the ACR Committee on Education  |  September 5, 2022

Developing instructional sessions or courses for delivery in online (i.e., asynchronous, not live) or remote (i.e., synchronous, live) learning environments rests on a foundation of traditional instructional design and active learning concepts. Successful online/remote instruction interprets those foundational concepts through technological and multimedia components. For example, the ADDIE instructional design model may be interpreted: Analyze—determine…

A Prescription for Mindfulness

Dana DiRenzo, MD, MHS  |  July 13, 2022

The prescription is a powerful tool for a physician. As rheuma­tologists, we prescribe many things—drugs, physical therapy, durable medical equipment—but what about stress reduction? We are very specific about times of day to take medications and in what manner. Patients ask: With or without food? With other medications? Before or after other prescribed medications? If…

Will an App to Monitor Patient Outcomes Improve RA Disease Activity?

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  July 26, 2021

Lee et al. examined the use of a smartphone application to monitor longitudinal electronic patient-reported outcomes on satisfaction and disease activity in patients with RA.

Artificial Intelligence Gives Rheumatologists an Assist

Mary Beth Nierengarten  |  June 14, 2021

As the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 spreads across the globe, innovative thinking is needed more than ever to counter the devastating effects on the physical and socioeconomic health of individuals and communities. Innovations in healthcare delivery not yet fully realized prior to the pandemic, such as the adoption of telehealth, are moving to the…

Improving Demographic Representation & Equity in Rheumatology Research

Allison Plitman  |  March 18, 2021

A better understanding of knowledge gaps and increased engagement of underrepresented communities are needed to diversify rheumatology patient data in clinical datasets, registries and randomized clinical trials.
