Pay for performance in psoriasis (PsO) care is a reimbursement model based on the percentage of patients receiving systemic medication who meet minimal physician- or patient-reported disease activity levels. This merit-based program measures clinician performance against metric-driven outcomes, proven best practices, and patient satisfaction. However, there are many challenges associated with this model that dermatologists and their staff have to address, particularly when treating patients with more complex PsO. This begins with accurate diagnosis and assessment of disease severity and burden, translating new PsO guidelines, and ensuring that patients receive appropriate systemic treatment to establish and maintain minimal disease activity levels. Adherence to treatment regimens is critical for optimal outcomes in PsO management, improved quality of life (QoL), and patient satisfaction. The use of validated measuring scores and patient-reported outcomes in PsO treatment and management may help to enhance disease assessment, patient engagement, and treatment adherence in both in-person and teledermatology care for PsO.
This CMEOCast podcast will focus on the measuring tools that allow for accurate assessment and diagnosis, the factors that are associated with patient perspectives regarding the burden of PsO, implementing best practice guidelines and recommendations, and strategies for engaging patients in discussions about their PsO treatment regimen and goals to improve medication adherence, therapeutic outcomes, and QoL.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Integrate assessment tools for PsO disease activity to guide treatment decisions, assess treatment response, and measure QoL.
- Apply recommendations from the AAD/NPF guidelines to treatment decisions for patients with moderate-to-severe PsO.
- Work collaboratively with patients to integrate self-management tools into their PsO care plan to increase patient activation and improve QoL.
