Benefits of medical treatment in patients recently diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis are well documented, but delays in the commencement of these treatment regimens often leads to poor and irreversible healthcare outcomes. This study aims to explore the informational needs and educational preferences of persons with early inflammatory arthritis through the perspective of their health care providers in efforts to expedite the time to treatment. This project is part of a larger multidisciplinary study that also investigates these learning needs from the perspectives of the patients, their families, and their culture. Specifically for this part of the project, healthcare providers who are engaged in work related to inflammatory arthritis care will be invited to participate as key informants. Using a semi-structured interview guide, these participants will provide personal insight from their experiences in working with patients diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis regarding the informational and educational barriers they believe lead to delays in arthritis treatment in Ontario patients.
