By 2015, the World Health Organization reported that 1% of the world population suffered from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in Latin America (LA) between 0.5% and 1%. Previously, in May 2014, a consensus meeting was held in Barranquilla, Colombia, where the Project for Implementation and Accreditation of Centers of Excellence (CoE) in RA in LA was established, which then became an official special group of the Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology (PANLAR).
The aim of this study was to define the methodological approach for the accreditation process of CoE in RA in LA.
A meeting was held in April 2015 with participation of the members of the REAL-PANLAR Steering Committee, and representatives of several LA countries, with the support of 2 experts in accreditation processes and models in Colombia. Then, in November 2015 in San Francisco and in November 2016 in Washington, the REAL-PANLAR Steering Committee met to discuss some final aspects of the project.
The following steps for accreditation were defined: application for accreditation, issuance of the concept of assessment of the entity, accreditation decision, and monitoring accreditation.
This is the second REAL-PANLAR consensus paper with the purpose to define the parameters for the accreditation process for future CoE in RA in LA.
到 2015 年，世界卫生组织报告称，全球有 1%的人口患有类风湿关节炎（RA），而在拉丁美洲（LA），这一比例在 0.5%至 1%之间。此前，2014 年 5 月，在哥伦比亚的巴兰基亚举行了一次共识会议，成立了拉丁美洲类风湿关节炎卓越中心实施和认证项目（CoE），该项目随后成为泛美风湿病协会联盟（PANLAR）的一个正式特别小组。
本研究旨在定义拉丁美洲 RA 卓越中心认证过程的方法学方法。
2015 年 4 月举行了一次会议，REAL-PANLAR 指导委员会成员、几个 LA 国家的代表以及哥伦比亚的 2 名认证过程和模式专家参加了会议。然后，REAL-PANLAR 指导委员会于 2015 年 11 月在旧金山和 2016 年 11 月在华盛顿举行会议，讨论该项目的一些最终方面。
确定了以下认证步骤：认证申请、实体评估概念的发布、认证决定和认证监测。
这是 REAL-PANLAR 的第二份共识文件，旨在定义未来拉丁美洲 RA 卓越中心认证过程的参数。
