What drives patient cost variability in psoriasis care: a single centre study

This study highlighted substantial variability in consultation and yearly treatment costs for psoriasis patients. These findings emphasized the critical need for detailed cost data to optimise departmental workflows, support efficient resource allocation, and inform the design of equitable bundled payment models. Improving cost transparency was shown to strengthen clinical and financial decision-making. Future research was recommended to explore the cost implications of comorbidities and to extend benchmarking efforts across dermatology settings to guide system-wide improvements in care delivery and sustainability.

Abstract

This study highlighted substantial variability in consultation and yearly treatment costs for psoriasis patients. These findings emphasized the critical need for detailed cost data to optimise departmental workflows, support efficient resource allocation, and inform the design of equitable bundled payment models. Improving cost transparency was shown to strengthen clinical and financial decision-making. Future research was recommended to explore the cost implications of comorbidities and to extend benchmarking efforts across dermatology settings to guide system-wide improvements in care delivery and sustainability.
