Stopped: research is not clinically appropriate at this time due to competing demands and patient care
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if nurse-pharmacist counseling can improve patient knowledge and confidence and prevent side effects in patients who start a biologic medication in-office and later continue the medication at home. The main question it aims to answer are: • Does nurse-pharmacist counseling improve patient-reported knowledge and confidence in biologic self-treatment when moving from in-office to at-home administration? Participants will attend a brief counseling session in office and respond to a pre-counseling and post-counseling survey to look at medication knowledge and confidence. Participants will be contacted at three months after the survey to ask if they had any side effects related to their biologic medicine. Data will be collected from the participant's medical record at the study institution for up to six months after the study counseling session.
