In this episode of Arthritis At Home, we are sharing the #CRArthritis interview with Dr. Karine Toupin April, Associate Professor at the School of Rehabilitation Sciences in the University of Ottawa. She speaks to Kelly Lendvoy about how the practice of shared decision making can be implemented effectively in arthritis care, taking into account the diverse needs of specific patient populations, and how they can contribute to reducing health disparities. In addition, she offers examples of how guidelines can be made relevant and accessible to Indigenous communities, immigrants, and other minority groups to ensure equitable care outcomes.
