Australian Quality Standard for Rheumatoid Arthritis

The Australian Rheumatology Association (ARA), in collaboration with Arthritis Australia, is developing a Quality Standard for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), to improve the quality of care for people living with RA.

The final quality statements will be based on consensus agreement by healthcare professionals involved in the care of people with RA, as well as people living with RA.

ARA invites ASCIA members to take part in an online survey to indicate agreement with the:

  1. Selection of priority areas
  2. Content and wording of each quality statement

The survey is available at https://redcap.link/RA_qual_stds and is open until 6th September 2023.
