Treat-to-target in RA: Collaboration To Improve adOption and adhereNce (TRACTION)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Learning Collaborative for Arthritis, Rheumatoid. Completed, enrolled 11 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if a Learning Collaborative is an effective tool to improve adoption and adherence to a Treat-to-Target (TTT) treatment strategy in U.S. rheumatology practices for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The TTT strategy has been embraced by the American College of Rheumatology through the RA Treatment Guidelines and by EULAR,however several lines of evidence suggest that TTT is not practiced consistently across rheumatology settings.Participating practices will be randomized to receive the Learning Collaborative intervention in one of two phases. Coaching consistent with Learning Collaborative practices will be used to promote adherence to TTT. Chart abstraction will be used to determine if the Learning Collaborative was an effective tool to increase TTT adherence.

Timeline
Interventions
A learning collaborative is an established technique that uses the model for improvement to bridge the gap between what we know and what we do. Structured learning sessions and collaborative coaching are used to guide small cycles of change called Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles. This quality improvement intervention will help providers adopt treat-to-target practices through the structured learning collaborative.
