EULAR Press interviews Cheryl Koehn on patient satisfaction and RA treatment

Cheryl Koehn discusses the importance of treatment conversations between patients and healthcare professionals.

This year’s European League Against Rheumatism Annual Congress (EULAR2016) highlighted patient-focused initiatives that aimed to:
  • Improve the understanding of the patient perspective
  • Encourage patient participation
  • Optimize care of rheumatic diseases
One of the initiatives is the RA NarRAtive initiative – a patient survey fielded in 15 countries around the world and designed to evaluate the patient/healthcare professional relationship and communication and patients’ experience and satisfaction with treatment and disease management.
