Purpose
Canadian Rheumatologists will be randomized to treat their participants with active Psoriatic Arthritis to a target (disease activity score <2.6), or as per their routine care. The aim of this study is to determine whether treating to a target results in greater disease improvement than treating patients using routine care.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Percentage of patients achieving low DAS [ Time Frame: Month 9 Visit ]The primary outcome measure will be the percentage of patients achieving low Disease Activity Score (DAS<2.6) in each patient group (Intensive Care vs. Routine Care) at the end of the study.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Time to achieving DAS28<2.6 [ Time Frame: Month 3 Visit, Month 6 Visit, and Month 9 Visit ]Compares the effectiveness of Intensive Care and Routine Care groups, as measured by the time to achieving target of DAS28<2.6
- Absolute change in DAS28 [ Time Frame: Month 3 Visit, Month 6 Visit, Month 9 Visit ]To compare the effectiveness of Intensive Care and Routine Care in improving the patient DAS28.
- Percentage of Patients achieving ACR 20, 50, and 70 [ Time Frame: Month 3 Visit, Month 6 Visit, Month 9 Visit ]
ACR 20/50/70 defined as:
- 20%, 50%, or 70% reduction in tender joint count, and
- 20%, 50%, or 70% reduction in swollen joint count, and
- a 20%, 50%, or 70% reduction in 3 of the following 5 measures:
- Patient and physician global assessments (VAS)
- Patient pain score (VAS)
- HAQ-DI
- ESR or CRP
- Percentage of patients achieving PsARC [ Time Frame: Month 3 Visit, Month 6 Visit, Month 9 Visit ]
PsARC defined as improvement in at least 2 of the 4 following measures, one of which must be joint swelling or tenderness, and no worsening in any of the 4 measures:
- MDGA (0-5 point scale): reduction by 1 point.
- PGA (0-5 point scale): reduction by 1 point.
- TJC (76 or 68): reduction by >=30%.
- SJC (76 or 68): reduction by >=30%.
- Absolute change in HAQ-DI [ Time Frame: Month 3 Visit, Month 6 Visit, Month 9 Visit ]HAQ-DI is a self-administered questionnaire using the patient's functional ability during the last week. It consists of 20 items converging to 8 scales measuring dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common daily activities. The patients rate each activity as 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = some difficulty, 2 = much difficulty and 4 = unable. The final score ranges from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more disability.
