Treating to Goal: A Clear Path to Patient-Centered Psoriasis Management

Psoriasis patients and their physicians disagree about which symptoms are most important to treat. Patients report itch and other symptoms to be most bothersome while dermatologists reported location and size of skin lesions as paramount. Therefore, there is a need for greater patient-provider collaboration in setting expectations and goals around treatment and care. In this program, dermatologists, a primary care physician, and a psoriasis patient discuss the management of psoriasis from all perspectives and define strategies for improving the communication of patient and physician expectations during psoriasis therapy. Discussion of the differential diagnosis, pathology, and treatment of psoriasis are also covered. The goal of the program is to help alleviate patient frustration and help clinicians to optimize skin and comorbidity-related treatment outcomes.
