Addicted to Learning: Can We Teach as Well (& Enthrallingly!) as Fortnite?

Philip Seo, MD, MHS  |  April 15, 2019

My nephew is an addict. These words do not come easily to me, but I have come to accept them as true. In retrospect, I should have recognized the telltale signs: He stopped picking up the phone when I call. He disappears and then re-emerges hours later, seemingly having done nothing. He has lost interest…

Closed Case? ACR Fights CMS Proposed Changes for E/M Reimbursement

Gretchen Henkel  |  April 3, 2019

When the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed coding and documentation changes to consolidate evaluation and management (E/M) services last fall, the ACR was among many specialist societies actively involved in advocating against the proposed ruling.

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  April 2, 2019

Trabecular bone score and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography may be effective for evaluating bone impairment in patients ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Rheumatologists may be able to use these methods, complementary to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, to identify bone quality deterioration in AS patients.

Carina Stanton  |  March 21, 2019

Pediatric rheumatologists are in high demand. In fact, a shortage of pediatric rheumatologists requires more than half of all U.S. children with rheumatic diseases seek care with adult rheumatologists, and this shortage is projected to increase.
