The goal of this clinical trial is to facilitate the implementation of PROMs-based care for patients with axial spondyloarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are the barriers, facilitators and strategies to implement PROMs-based care? * Can the PROMise algorithm successfully review and postpone appointments of eligible patients? * How feasible is PROMs-based care in patients with axial spondyloarthritis? Researchers will implement PROMs-Based care and see if PROMs-Based care is feasible and understand patient's opinions on PROMs-Based care implemented. Participants will: * Be randomized to either receive intervention (PROM-based care) or control (usual care). Randomisation means assigning you to one of two groups by chance, like tossing a coin or rolling dice. * That receive PROMs-based care, will be sent PROMs questionnaires that ask them about their health conditions via SMS at a regular interval of 4 months. * Have their appointments postponed by 4 months, if the PROMise algorithm with specific thresholds (with overview from the rheumatology care team) assess their condition as stable through their blood test results and PROMs questionnaire. * Have a cap of 12 months between physician visits.
