Improving dermatologic care for psoriasis patients

Purpose

We seek to evaluate an online psoriasis-care delivery model. Through this online model, patients can see the dermatologist online rather than coming into the office for a visit. The model is designed to increase patient and primary care physician access to dermatologists. We want to find out if this online model ultimately improves psoriasis severity and quality of life.
