Carolyn Crist  |  August 4, 2020

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the expansion of telemedicine across the U.S., which has opened up access to doctor’s offices for families with limited resources. But at the same time, the health disparity gap could continue to widen unless safeguards are put into place, according to a pair of new editorials. “There…

Jason Liebowitz, MD, FACR  |  July 15, 2020

For most rheumatologists, the key elements of the physical exam—inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation—have long been second nature, but a fifth modality has grown in importance with respect to making the correct diagnosis: ultrasound. From evaluating for Doppler signal and additional findings indicative of synovitis to identifying bony erosions, chondrocalcinosis, tophi and other articular and…

A Call to Action to Use the Pandemic to Transform Rheumatic Disease Care

S. Louis Bridges Jr., MD, PhD  |  July 15, 2020

No event in recent history has caused such far-reaching changes within the medical industry as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Similar to its ability to spread indiscriminately—infecting people regardless of age, race or socioeconomic background—the virus is inducing immediate and, likely, permanent changes across the entire spectrum of healthcare. Comfortable routines of healthcare delivery have been…

These are truly extraordinary times. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the rheumatology community, both providers and patients, in many ways, and our advocacy efforts are now more important than ever to ensure policymakers hear us and help address the issues facing our community.

Rheumatology & Digital Wearables: What’s on the Horizon?

Carina Stanton  |  May 15, 2020

SNOWMASS VILLAGE, COLO.—A major workforce shortage, a population of patients taking immunosuppressants where safety concerns and the patient experience are critical, and an increasing focus on remote patient monitoring and telehealth are driving a discussion regarding the role digital wearables play in rheumatologic care. “We need to be more thoughtful and efficient in taking care…

The Potential for Telemedicine to Supplement In-Person Care

Elizabeth Park, MD  |  May 15, 2020

Even before I started my rheuma­tology fellowship, I knew it would be a demanding career, diagnosing complex diseases with only a few management options in seriously ill patients.

Larry Beresford  |  May 15, 2020

Multiple barriers that stood in the way of taking full advantage of this promise are now down—at…

Linda Carroll  |  May 5, 2020

(Reuters Health)—Patient portals at U.S. hospitals leave a lot to be desired in terms of privacy when individuals want to share access with an informal caregiver, a new study finds.
