Summary

By forming the foundation of a delivery system that integrates primary care (PC) and rheumatology, this initiative strives to strengthen the roles of both primary care and rheumatology practices as they co-manage patients in a quality care delivery system. Importantly, it strives to fill an unmet need, the rapid evaluation by Primary Care providers; the appropriate and timely referral of inflammatory disease patients to a rheumatologist; and the implementation of early aggressive therapy in the management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with tight control. Given the call for improved quality, value, and demonstration of results\[1\], this initiative uses the tenets of National Center for Quality Assurance's Patient Centered Specialty Program\[1\] (PCSP) and it successfully masters and streamlines coordination of care.
