Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an online patient passport tool called the Arthritis Health Journal can assist people with rheumatoid arthritis in managing their disease.
Detailed Description:
Patient passports have been developed and used in chronic diseases, such as diabetes, to promote active involvement of patients in their care, and have led to better treatment and health outcomes. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), active involvement of patients in monitoring their symptoms and their disease activity may facilitate treatment according to current recommendations, which emphasize the need for aggressive treatment to suppress inflammation and for using a "Treat to Target" approach where treatment is escalated until a target is reached and is promptly modified when target is no longer met. In this study, the investigators have developed an online tool that aims to help people with RA monitor their symptoms and their disease activity and self-manage their arthritis. The investigators will perform a proof of concept study assessing how the Arthritis Health Journal affects consumer effectiveness, patient self-efficacy, communication with health professionals, shared decision-making, and satisfaction with medical care. The investigators will also evaluate the feasibility and satisfaction with using the Arthritis Health Journal. The investigators will use a stepped wedge study design, in which 50 participants will be randomized to either the intervention group (immediate use of the Arthritis Health Journal) or the control group (waitlisted for 6 months). Due to the nature of the intervention, the study is not blinded.
