Sanchez-Bilboa at al. IV vs SC tocilizumab in 471 GCA patients. Equal efficacy. The authors report more adverse events with IV but actually this was purely due to longer follow up and per patient years it was the same. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0272 https://t.co/2h7iIkMxjW

Yusof et al @Yuz6Yusof COVID-19 in RTX treated patients. Significant efficacy of vaccination in both overall and severe COVID rates. Vaccination decreased risk HR 0.13 (0.03-0.51).

So maybe, when it comes to delivering healthcare and telemedicine, we need to think about quality and efficiency? #EULAR2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/JMbQ1ZUB0o

and, Robert Landewe argues, telemedicine is merely exchanging parcels of information.

What's the argument against that?
Fundamentally, empathy. The patient experience isn't just a product of miracle drugs - over time it's a multitude of factors that are what leads to happy patients

and if we don't act, we leave it to the wild, wild west of the private market:
- designed for profit (not necessarily bad)
- but often at the cost of robust dedication to patient outcomes (always bad)

In fact, in some select situations we can get by very well without seeing our patient at all?

So maybe telemedicine can bring us the efficiency that we badly need. In rheumatology, we're drowning in demand - is telemedicine part of the solution?
