Drawing from an examination of eConsults directed to the University of Colorado's Rheumatology Division, this series will review the most common inquiries posed by primary care providers to rheumatologists. Sessions will delve into the key topics touched on by these queries, dissecting an efficient diagnostic process and outlining an initial treatment strategy. Topics will include positive ANA tests, gout, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, regional musculoskeletal conditions and heritable connective tissue diseases. We will explore evidence-based therapies to aid providers in enhancing patient outcomes within the medical home by providers practicing at the top of their scope.
