Scoping review assesses outpatient team-based rheumatology care outcomes, revealing areas for improvement and standardization.

The aim is to map existing evidence on outpatient team-based rheumatology care and its impact across the Quintuple Aim domains.
Conducted a scoping review following Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR checklist.
Searched databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL for studies on team-based rheumatology care up to May 2024.
Included peer-reviewed studies with at least 1 rheumatologist and 1 interdisciplinary healthcare professional, evaluating outcomes compared to other care models.
Identified 6,139 records; 76 reports (67 studies) met criteria, highlighting a recent surge in relevant research.
Found a wide range of team compositions, from small teams to comprehensive care involving multiple professionals.
Most studies focused on population health outcomes, with 78% examining disease activity, physical function, and quality of life.
