Process after the implementation of the innovative IT solution. The program: referral circuit, IT systems, and consultations in Rheumatology of patients referred from Primary Care. PCP: Primary Care Physician; PE: physical exam; IANUS: electronic health record system in Galicia. The patient is referred to Rheumatology, previous request of additional tests already agreed upon between PC and Rheumatology. The case is electronically seen by the Rheumatologist in the 2.T.0 Agenda, where he or she can add further tests or solve the case without a face-to-face visit. A second prioritization occurs here before the first face-to-face visit in Rheumatology (2.T.1 Agenda)
