Understanding T2T
Treat-to-Target (T2T) emphasizes the process of shared decision-making between patients and members of the medical team. Shared decision-making can only happen if patients are well informed about RA and their treatment options and communicate their expectations. The educational information on this site may help patients be better prepared to discuss their treatment choices, goals, and objectives with their HCPs.
In this 3-part video, learn about the principles and recommendations of T2T and how patients and their HCP can work together to identify T2T goals.
