What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a public health issue because of its frequency, its functional consequences, the risk of morbidity and mortality and the costs incurred. A collaborative multiprofessional intervention initiated during hospitalization and continued after hospital discharge (ambulatory care ) would improve medication adherence in RA and therefore the health status of patients.
