Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of medical directors, registered nurses, pharmacy directors, clinical pharmacists, specialty pharmacists, quality directors, as well as network physicians affiliated with various MCOs, health systems, and other payer organizations.
Statement of Need/Program Overview
An action plan to enhance knowledge of clinical, economic, and humanistic burden of AD is needed by managed care and payer decision makers to enact health care benefit policy strategies to reduce the disease burden and enhance the potential for optimal treatment outcomes. These health care professionals also need increased knowledge of recently approved and emerging AD therapies in order to develop and implement AD benefit design strategies that support an improvement in overall patient quality of life and clinical outcomes. This includes knowledge of the heterogeneity of the presentation of AD and the need to align specific therapies with specific patient types. Furthermore, it is clear that payers can benefit from dermatology providers’ experience and expertise when creating PA criteria in order to streamline utilization controls in order to improve patient access to appropriate therapy.
