The overall objective of this proposal is to implement a smart phone application (app) +
population management system to monitor rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity between
scheduled physician office visits. The population management system includes: 1) a web-based
dashboard that consolidates incoming patient-reported data using pre-programmed algorithms to
identify increases in disease activity, and 2) the population manager, a trained individual
who monitors the web-based dashboard and connects patients with their healthcare providers
(HCPs). The investigators central hypothesis is that the combined smart phone app +
population management system will improve patient satisfaction and management of RA disease
activity.
