Qualitative study identifies barriers and enablers in adopting interdisciplinary rheumatology care models.

The study aims to identify the barriers and enablers perceived by rheumatologists regarding the adoption of interdisciplinary models of care.
Conducted semistructured interviews with 14 rheumatologists in Ontario practicing conventional care models
Participants selected to ensure variation in gender, career stage, practice setting, and region
Used content analysis with deductive coding based on the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF)
Identified 6 TDF domains relevant to adopting interdisciplinary care.
Participants expressed optimism about implementing models with appropriate supports and had strong self-efficacy for training IHPs.
Funding limitations and space restrictions were major barriers, while expected patient benefits and reduced burnout were key enablers.

Bodmer et al. (2026) studied this question.
