This study identified 8 best-practice indicators for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) care. These indicators help healthcare providers measure and improve patient outcomes in diagnosis, collaboration, management, and monitoring.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Psoriatic Arthritis Research
Background:
- Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) care often lacks processes to measure quality improvement.
- The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) aimed to address this gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and select best-practice indicators for monitoring PsA care quality.
- Focus areas included diagnosis, multidisciplinary collaboration, disease management, and monitoring.
Main Methods:
- A structured literature review identified 100 potential indicators.
- Expert surveys and consensus discussions refined the list.
- Indicators were reviewed and validated by GRAPPA.
Main Results:
- A consensus was reached on a shortlist of 8 best-practice indicators.
- These indicators align with the patient pathway for PsA.
Conclusions:
- Eight evidence-based indicators and targets were identified.
- These enable monitoring and improvement of quality of care in PsA.
