Article Synopsis
- Psoriatic disease (PsD), which includes psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, negatively impacts patients' quality of life and requires a multidisciplinary approach involving dermatology and rheumatology for effective management and treatment.
- In Portugal, five hospitals have established specialized clinics for assessing PsD, each with unique operational models while agreeing on core assessment criteria that include all disease manifestations and quality of life.
- The main goal of these clinics is to achieve remission or minimal disease activity, though they face challenges such as financial limitations, time management, and resource constraints in implementing effective integrated care.
