In this episode, recorded live at ACR Convergence 2024 in Washington, DC, we are joined by Professor Daniel H. Solomon, Chief of the Section of Clinical Sciences in the Division of Rheumatology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
We delve into how PROs, collected using validated measures and integrated into electronic health records (EHRs) such as Epic, reshape care delivery. Professor Solomon discusses how these tools enable personalized and population-level management by providing real-time insights that optimize appointment scheduling, prioritize high-need patients, and improve efficiency in addressing rheumatology’s growing demand.
The conversation also explores challenges like EHR interoperability, the need for behavior change to adopt new care models, and addressing concerns about potential biases in patient-reported data. Professor Solomon emphasizes balancing clinician judgment with PRO analytics for nuanced decision-making.
Looking ahead, Professor Solomon envisions a future where apps like Room App become standard tools for rheumatologists, allowing them to focus in-person time on complex cases while using digital health technologies to monitor and manage stable patients remotely. He also discusses the evolving reimbursement landscape, including Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) codes, which incentivize better care through digital solutions.
Join us for this insightful conversation about the future of rheumatology care, where digital innovation is essential for meeting the needs of patients and practitioners alike.
