Statement of Need/Program Overview:
An action plan to enhance knowledge of clinical, economic, and humanistic burden of AD is needed by managed care and payer decision makers to enact health care benefit policy strategies to reduce the disease burden and enhance the potential for optimal treatment outcomes. These health care professionals also need increased knowledge of recently approved and emerging AD therapies in order to develop and implement AD benefit design strategies that support an improvement in overall patient quality of life and clinical outcomes. This includes knowledge of the heterogeneity of the presentation of AD and the need to align specific therapies with specific patient types. Furthermore, it is clear that payers can benefit from dermatology providers’ experience and expertise when creating PA criteria in order to streamline utilization controls in order to improve patient access to appropriate therapy.

Educational Objectives:
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

• Evaluate the challenges of treating patients with AD and its accompanying comorbidities
• Employ timely referral and collaborative, multidisciplinary management of patients with AD
• Utilize treatment optimization approaches to balance costs with improved outcomes in AD disease management
• Discuss payer benefit management strategies to minimize common barriers to AD therapies and improve access to appropriate care
