OVERVIEW

Designing Treatment Plans for Patients With Plaque Psoriasis is organized by i3 Health.

Dates Available:
June 19, 2024 - June 18, 2026

Statement of Need:
Plaque psoriasis is the most common type of psoriasis, a chronic dermatologic disease characterized by patches of thick red skin and silvery scales, which are often pruritic. Approximately 3% of adults aged 20 years or older in the United States are affected by plaque psoriasis, with significant variation by race and ethnicity (Armstrong et al, 2021). A variety of drug classes with different efficacy and safety profiles, routes of administration, and dosing schedules are now available for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. In order to optimize outcomes for individual patients, it is crucial for members of the interprofessional medical care team to remain up to date on emerging therapies and adverse event management and to incorporate effective patient education and shared decision making into their practice. This activity will explore factors informing the diagnosis of plaque psoriasis and differentiation from other skin disorders, the clinical utility of novel therapies, and strategies for employing a comprehensive approach to designing individualized care plans for patients with plaque psoriasis.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Differentiate plaque psoriasis from other skin disorders
Evaluate the clinical utility of novel therapies for individual adults with plaque psoriasis
Utilize a comprehensive approach to care for adults with plaque psoriasis
