**7.9 Multidisciplinary rehabilitation**

For those with active RA or moderate-severe RA and various functional issues, coordinated intense multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs are crucial. Both inpatient rehabilitation and intensive medical care delivered in well-organized, coordinated day care are advantageous, with day care being marginally less expensive.

The most efficient way to deliver multidisciplinary care for patients with more severe difficulties is probably influenced by local geography and service characteristics [49–51].
