Welcome to the TRACTION Learning Collaborative
Improving the Implementation of Treat-to-Target for Rheumatoid Arthritis in the US
This exciting learning collaborative is focused on improving use of Treat to Target (TTT) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). As you may know, TTT is part of the ACR and EULAR recommendations for RA, but it’s difficult to implement in routine practice. This Brigham/Harvard led initiative, sponsored by AbbVie, will teach you proven methods for improving your use of TTT and how to engage your staff to make TTT the standard of care for RA in your practice. The learning collaborative will involve a virtual kickoff meeting plus 6 one-hour monthly webinars from experienced faculty. The TRACTION faculty include: Josef Smolen, Ted Pincus, Jeff Katz, Nancy Shadick and Dan Solomon. Below, we have included a variety of materials that will be helpful throughout the LC. If you have further questions or issues access these materials, please contact Jackie Stratton (jstratton1@bwh.harvard.edu) and Jack Ellrodt (jellrodt@bwh.harvard.edu).
