This study will establish a comparison in follow-up care of 100 patients between Health Care Practitioners, more specifically the rheumatologist and a trained nurse. The study objective is to show consistency of evaluation between two different health care professionals, a physician and a nurse.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Disease evaluation.

Patients will complete a self-evaluation of 28 joint counts for swelling and tenderness and assess their disease activity on a Visual Analog Scale. A 28 joint count and VAS will then be assessed by a nurse and by a rheumatologist. The same rheumatologist will examine all patients and two nurses will each randomly assess half the total enrolled patients. The nurse will be blinded to the patient's joint count and VAS, and similarly, the rheumatologist will be blinded to both the patient and nurse's assessments.
