Educating referring physicians and health professionals about the campaign will encourage timely and appropriate referrals during the window of opportunity —the first weeks or months following the onset of rheumatic disease symptoms —when long-term damage can be most effectively mitigated.
To help you share the campaign with referring physicians and health professionals in your area, the ACR has created these easy-to-use tools:
- Simple Tasks Letter:
A letter introducing the campaign to referring physicians in your area. - Should I Refer Letter:
A letter explaining the importance of referral to a rheumatologist. - Should I Refer Handout:
A quick-reference that provides 10 red flags that could indicate it is time for a referral to a rheumatologist. - Should I Refer Presentation:
A PowerPoint presentation that can be used when addressing referring physicians and health professionals. - Simple Tasks Overview Presentation:
A PowerPoint presentation that can be used when addressing a general audience.
