🎙️ Tune in to learn how real-world validated tools can revolutionize psoriatic arthritis management, and the potential for enduring change within the dermatology community in PART 2.

🎧 🎉The discussion takes a significant turn as we delve into the complexities that emerge in treatment strategies, especially in the gap between patient referrals and confirmations of diagnosis. The challenge of masking symptoms and determining the right treatment pathway is examined, stressing the importance of understanding both skin and joint conditions in these patients.

🧵Join us for a dive with eminent psoriatic arthritis experts, Dr. Jan Dutz and Dr. Jonathan Chan. Their unique real-world model of care has caught the attention of our listeners, and in this episode, we finally unravel the inner workings of their combined dermatology and rheumatology clinic.

🫳After countless requests, we've garnered insights into how they run their clinic, how they manage their team, and if this model is sustainable? But that's not all.

🛎️Our dynamic derm-rheum tag team outline compare the practical utility of three different screening tools, in over 50 dermatologists' offices nationwide. Before participating in the project, some dermatologists expressed reservations regarding the perceived time-consuming nature of these tools, the potential for low yield in their population, and a general lack of habitual use or reminders.

Is this model scalable? What potential barriers stand in its way?  And we delve into the intricacies of PSA screening tools – where's the optimal place for deployment? Where can they make the most impact?

🎙️🎙️Looking Forward: A critical question remains whether this change is short-term or will translate into long-term behavioral change?

Warm up those ear phones for PART 2!
