Abstract:
Multidisciplinary care is essential for the management of patients with psoriatic disease (PsD), considering the great range of cutaneous and musculoskeletal symptoms and the potential for associated comorbidities and extraarticular manifestations. Consequently, combined rheumatology/dermatology clinics represent a gold standard model of care for patients with PsD. Many challenges are associated with the establishment of these clinics in routine clinical practice. In this report, we describe the thoughts and debates within a collaborative care breakout session during the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 annual meeting. The breakout discussion focused around 3 main topics: (1) challenges of dermatologist-rheumatologist collaboration; (2) innovative approaches to encourage collaboration; and (3) how to identify patients with psoriasis at high risk of developing PsA.
