The Evolving Management of Psoriatic Disease: A Guide for Managed Care and Specialty Pharmacy Professionals Web Activity
| EXPERT FACULTY | ||||||||||||||

Target Audience
Statement of Need/Program Overview
Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis present a significant clinical and humanistic burden to patients and managed care/specialty pharmacy organizations. Patients diagnosed with psoriatic disease are subject to increased mortality and functional disability which can lead to significant impairment of QoL and increased use of health care resources. Fortunately, there has been a marked increase in the number of safe and effective therapies to the disease. As a result, managed care and specialty pharmacy decision makers are challenged to match patients with the most appropriate therapeutic option. This task is complicated by the high prevalence of multiple chronic comorbid conditions as well as poor adherence to prescribed therapy; all of which must be addressed in order to achieve successful outcomes. The pathologic complexity of psoriatic disease and its comorbidities often requires collaborative multidisciplinary care. Improved awareness of therapeutic options available to manage the spectrum of pathologic challenges confronted by patients with psoriatic disease will enable managed care and specialty pharmacy professionals to improve patient quality of life and clinical outcomes.
