@AimeeHersh and I presenting initial work of our PLUS (Pediatric Lupus Understanding health Systems) Collaborative at the @Lupus21Century conference. @carrainc @ArthritisFdn #pediatriclupus

[Emily Smitherman, MD, MS @EmilySmitherman]

We showed a Treat to Target strategy for #pediatriclupus in #pedsrheum clinic is acceptable and appropriate to clinicians but will require implementation facilitation to increase feasibility. More work to come!

[Emily Smitherman, MD, MS @EmilySmitherman]
