Description: This scoping review aims to identify and understand the extent and type of evidence related to triage approaches for patient referral from primary care physicians (PCP) to rheumatologists. Interventions have been designed to improve referrals from PCPs to rheumatologists. Triaging patients for proper referral and leveraging electronic health advancements creates new possibilities to reduce the burden of high-morbidity chronic diseases, such as inflammatory arthritis (IA). Since prompt appropriate rheumatology referrals for early intervention are known to improve outcomes in IA, there is an urgency to understand the types of action-ready triage approaches for healthcare implementation.
