“…Although both home-based and ambulatory services have been found to improve patient outcomes (2,14,15), no studies have yet directly compared the outcomes from the two settings. Also, there has been limited research exploring the characteristics of patients who would be most suitable for each service delivery option (9).…”

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) receiving treatment from a rheumatology-trained primary therapist and to assess the feasibility of the research protocol. Method: The experimental (E) group received treatment from a primary therapist in addition to their overall medical care. The usual care (UC) group continued receiving usual medical care. The first 10 patients completed the Health Assessment Questionnaire, a pain visual analogue scale, and the Arthritis Community Research and Evaluation Unit RA Knowledge Questionnaire. Patients were classified as clinical responders if they showed 20% improvement in two-thirds of core measures between baseline and 6 months. Baseline assessment was performed immediately prior to randomization. All patients completed the EuroQol and a monthly health resource use questionnaire. Results: A trend towards improvement was found in the E group (n = 11) in all clinical measures at discharge (approximately 6 weeks from baseline) and 6 months from baseline. In contrast, the UC group (n = 13) showed a slight deterioration in pain (at 6 weeks) and in disease-specific knowledge (at 6 months). Three of six patients in the E group and one of four patients in the UC group met the criteria of clinical responders. Conclusions: The study suggests an improvement trend in patient outcomes after treatment from a primary therapist and that the study protocol is feasible for a full-scale clinical trial.
