Remote Monitoring of Psoriasis: Comparing Care Models and Evaluating Quality of Life Outcomes: Mixed Methods Study
This study is the first to compare remote psoriasis monitoring across specialist and primary care levels. While remote management proved effective in specialist care, outcomes in primary care were nonsignificant, reflecting patterns seen in in-person PCP-led care. Using public claims data, the study highlights that integrating specialist support into PCP-led care via standardized e-consultations may enhance patient outcomes. It underscores the need for further research and the development of standardized collaborative care models between PCPs and specialists in the remote management of psoriasis.
