Value-Based Healthcare: A Primer for the Dermatologist.

Background: Value-based healthcare (VBHC) is an increasingly employed strategy to transform healthcare organizations into economically sustainable systems that deliver high-value care. In dermatology, the need for VBHC is evident as chronic skin diseases require long-term, often expensive treatments. This narrative review aims to introduce dermatologists to the principles and implementation of VBHC.

Value in psoriasis (IRIS) trial: implementing value-based healthcare in psoriasis management - a 1-year prospective clinical study to evaluate feasibility and value creation.

Introduction: Currently, the healthcare sector is under tremendous financial pressure, and many acknowledge that a dramatic shift is required as the current system is not sustainable. Furthermore, the quality of care that is delivered varies strongly. Several solutions have been proposed of which the conceptual framework known as value-based healthcare (VBHC) is further explored in this study for psoriasis.

A plain language summary of what freedom from disease means to people with psoriasis according to doctors, nurses, and people with psoriasis.

What is this summary about? This summary presents findings from recent research involving people with psoriasis, based on an article originally published in the . Psoriasis is a condition that primarily affects the skin. However, it can also influence people's mental health, social activities, work, and relationships too.

PsoPlus: An Integrated Practice Unit for Psoriasis.

There is a need to revise the current healthcare organization due to the ever-rising costs and variation in quality of delivered care. Over the past decades there have been several strategic frameworks attempting to tackle this problem. Value-based healthcare (VBHC) is one of those frameworks which has gained increasing popularity the last years.

Initiating value-based healthcare in psoriasis: Proposing a value-based outcome set for daily clinical practice.

Background: With the current trend in healthcare moving towards a more value-based approach, it is essential to understand what value encompasses.

Objectives: To develop an actionable value-based outcome set (VOS) for daily practice.

Methods: A mixed method approach was used consisting of four phases.

Patient-Relevant Outcomes in Psoriasis: A Systematic Review.

Importance: There is a need to define which outcomes matter to patients with psoriasis to deliver value for the patient when managing their condition.

Objectives: To generate a comprehensive overview of all outcomes relevant in the management of psoriasis as defined by patients.

Evidence Review: A systematic review was performed by searching 3 databases (MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science) from August 1, 2019, until March 27, 2021, using a comprehensive search strategy consisting of 4 concepts including psoriasis, patients, outcomes, and relevance.

The role of the nurse in the care and management of patients with atopic dermatitis.

Background: The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of key aspects of specialised dermatology nursing practice in the management of patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. The role of dermatology nurse specialists in supporting patients and promoting disease understanding, education and treatment adherence continues to evolve. As features of specialised nursing care can also inform other nursing staff in a wide range of care settings, an overview of key components is examined.

The implementation of a structured specialized consultation for psoriasis management.

: Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease requiring a multidimensional approach, given its varying appearance, presence of comorbidities and complex treatment regimens. Psoriasis care is however often performed fragmented and, in case of flares, reactive with little integrated information on and for the patient. Literature suggests a multileveled approach of psoriasis, but the effects of its implementation have not yet been validated.
