We have a massive rheumatology workforce shortage issue.
Can chatbots help screen/triage patients for rheum diseases?
Enormous potential from this SG🇸🇬 pilot, getting pts to the right care quicker. We need to own & drive this!

Such contrast to the US!
Mexico’s legislature has de-criminalized abortion, making legal and safe abortions avail to rheum pts #ACR23 #GlobalSummit @Rheumnow @CuoghiE https://t.co/xAezGyav0E

There are lots of reasons why First Nations people might have difficulties with rheumatology care (especially those in remote communities).
Population realities
Healthcare access
Medication access
All have a very real impact on the quality of care we deliver.

Retrospective study(2016-2019) of referred newly, suspected (#RA) pts found no value in initial Xrays. Only 32/724 patients (4.4%) had RA like erosions, with Erosions leading to a Dx in only 2 pts (0.3%) & changed prognostic classification in 3 pts (0.4%) https://t.co/fi48WiBgIc https://t.co/skObArXYr6
