Dr. Bergman’s current research interests are focused primarily on the use of patient self-reported outcomes tools, recognizing both the importance of quantitative measurement in the management of rheumatologic diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, and the ability of the patient to know how much his or her disease is affecting the individual, sometimes (or even, usually) better than the physician. The results of these works have been published in major national and international journals and have been presented at both the ACR annual scientific meetings and at EULAR.
