Director of Healthcare Provider Engagement – Arthritis Foundation

Have you ever struggled to measure how Arthritis affects you?

What if we had a tool like bathroom scales or thermometers to track the effects and help make changes to improve your life?

Our ASN has an amazing opportunity to participate in a focus group to provide insight and input into an Arthritis Foundation project. This project will collect Patient Reported Outcomes and then use these outcomes to guide the Arthritis Foundation in the development of programming and resources.

Your help is critical in helping understand what would make a tool practical and useful to patients in the areas of: Physical health (i.e. pain, fatigue, etc.), Social connectedness, Communication with your health care team and Emotional health

Light refreshments will be provided.

If you have any questions about the group, please contact Helen King at Helen@arthritisintrospective.org
