Enhancing Rheumatoid Arthritis Management: cliexa’s Impact on Clinical Efficiency and Patient Outcomes

Digitizing disease activity at the point of care.

Healthcare organizations face growing pressure to deliver data-informed, value-based care for chronic conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Yet, critical gaps in care delivery persist:

• Only 24.9% of U.S. rheumatologists consistently implement treat-to-target (T2T) strategies in routine practice, despite ACR guidelines recommending this approach.
• Meanwhile, 60% of Rheumatoid Arthritis patients report uncertainty about whether their treatment is working, highlighting a major disconnect between care delivery and patient experience.

This gap is both a clinical and operational challenge. Without structured, real-time data, clinicians struggle to track disease activity and outcomes, patients disengage from care plans, and health systems miss opportunities to demonstrate value.

Challenges in rheumatoid arthritis care.

• Time-consuming data entry: Traditional paper-based intake processes are time-consuming and prone to errors, impacting both patient experience and clinical efficiency.
• Inconsistent data integration: Manual entry of RA scores into EMRs often leads to inconsistencies, hindering the ability to track disease progression over time.
• Limited patient engagement: Patients often have little access to their disease activity scores, limiting their ability to actively participate in their care.

Our approach: the cliexa solution.

cliexaRA, a Rheumatoid Arthritis–specific configuration of the cliexa mobile health platform, is transforming the way clinics manage RA by embedding real-time, patient-generated data directly into the clinical workflow.

During a pilot at the Colorado Arthritis Center, the solution demonstrated measurable improvements across intake efficiency, clinical documentation, and patient engagement.

With cliexa, patients completed standardized assessments prior to visits via mobile or tablet devices. The platform’s seamless EMR integration allowed physicians to view structured, auto-scored disease activity metrics in real time, eliminating redundant manual input and reducing documentation time.

This digital workflow not only streamlined operations but also empowered clinicians to monitor disease progression with precision, enabling faster treatment decisions and improving alignment with treat-to-target strategies. Patients reported greater confidence in their care journey, citing the ability to track symptoms and visualize progress as key factors in their satisfaction.
