Statement of Need:
Psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are complex disorders that require coordinated care between dermatologists and rheumatologists. Challenges to effective management include a lack of education of patients and health care providers (HCPs), suboptimal communication, and clinicians' lack of a holistic treatment approach.

The third episode of this BriefCase series on challenging cases in PsO and PsA features a physician-patient office scenario video on educating the patient and strategies to coordinate care between specialists, as well as between specialists and primary care, with a goal of optimizing patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
• Coordinate care for patients with PsA to optimize outcomes and quality of life (QoL).

The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
• Summarize coordination of care for patients with PsA to optimize outcomes and QoL.
