In this #ArthritisAtHome, we are sharing the #CRArthritis interview with Ms. Daphne To, PhD Candidate at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation in the University of Toronto and Women’s College Hospital Institute for Health System Solutions & Virtual Care, and Ms. Gabrielle (Gabby) Sraka, a Public Health Science student at McMaster University.
In this interview, Daphne and Gabby discuss their complementary poster presentations : “What characteristics are needed for optimal team-based rheumatology care? A qualitative study exploring the experiences and perceptions of rheumatology health professionals” and “It’s like a one-stop shop : A qualitative study exploring patient experiences in receiving interdisciplinary team-based care for rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.” The duo reports on how their respective studies reveal the benefits of a team-based care model for both patients and health care providers, including earlier diagnosis and better disease management.
