Background/Purpose PopulaGon management (PM) offers a promising approach to providing Treat-‐to-‐Target (T2T) care for rheumatoid arthriGs (RA). PM depends on providing standardized, on-‐Gme disease acGvity (DA) assessments and coordinated care across the enGre disease populaGon, as well as for individual paGents within this context. This study invesGgates the adopGon of PM registries in rheumatology pracGces, the use of standardized DA measures (referred to as signal measures) as chosen by parGcipaGng rheumatologists, and the barriers
Methods The Rheumatoid ArthriGs PracGce Performance (RAPP) Project is a voluntary collaboraGon of U.S. clinician rheumatologists (current N = 168) who manage more than 80,000 RA paGents in total. ParGcipaGng physicians are enrolling their RA paGents (ICD-‐9 code 714.0) into a HIPAA-‐compliant disease populaGon registry from pracGce billing records or during clinical visits. They are then collecGng signal measures and current medicaGons on these paGents over Gme. With isolated excepGons, their preferred signal measures include one or more of the following: RAPID3, a 0-‐10 Provider Global Assessment (PGA), Clinical Disease AcGvity Index (CDAI), and a mulG-‐biomarker (MB) test. The registry enables real-‐Gme PopulaGon Reports that track assessment Gmeliness (consistent with T2T recommendaGons) and monitor the DA distribuGon within each physician’s enrolled RA populaGon. Lists of overdue paGents are also generated from the registry. The RAPP Project’s coordinators regularly assess physicians’ progress toward PM and the barriers they encounter.
Results To this point, 86 RAPP Project physicians have fully enrolled their RA populaGon in a populaGon registry. Signal measure results reported by these physicians include: PracGces % of PaGents Total PaGents in Measure ReporGng (N) Reported (Range) All Registries (N) RAPID3 15 10-‐93% 4176 PGA 39 2-‐93% 8679 CDAI 15 2-‐93% 4151 MB Test 86 3-‐100% 38412
Despite strong intenGons, many pracGces encounter barriers to implemenGng a populaGon registry and PM workflows, including: 1) temporary pracGce or personal crises, such as partners leaving or illnesses; 2) physicians and staff lacking the Gme, resources, and skills to implement the necessary pracGce changes; and 3) administraGve objecGons, especially in larger group pracGces.
Conclusion 1. Increasing numbers of physicians and staff have been able to implement a simple yet robust populaGon registry in their busy pracGce environments. 2. They are collecGng one or more signal measures across their populaGon. 3. Both pracGce-‐based and health system barriers present challenges to implemenGng PM in many pracGces.
