ABSTRACT

Real-world data is crucial to continuously improve patients' management with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD). The German RHADAR registry encompasses a network of rheumatologists and researchers in Germany providing pseudonymized real-world patient data and allowing a timely and continuous improvement in RMD patients' care. The RHADAR modules allow automated anamnesis and adaptive coordination of appointments regarding individual urgency levels. Further modules focus on the collection and integration of electronic patient-reported outcomes in between consultations. The digital RHADAR modules ultimately allow a patient-centered, adaptive approach to integrated medical care starting as early as possible in the disease course. Such a closed-loop system consisting of various modules along the whole patient pathway enables comprehensive and timely patient management in an unprecedented manner.
