Target Audience
The primary target audience for this initiative consists of medical directors, registered nurses, pharmacy directors, clinical pharmacists, specialty pharmacists, quality directors, as well as network physicians affiliated with various MCOs, health systems, and other payer organizations.

Statement of Need/Program Overview
Novel treatments and management strategies have the potential to target the underlying pathology resulting in decreased clinical and economic burden for the patient and health care system. However, managed care pharmacists and other payer professionals can lack knowledge of the clinical, economic, and humanistic burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) which can empower them to enact health care benefit policy strategies to reduce the disease burden and enhance the potential for optimal treatment outcomes.

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

• Explore the spectrum of clinical, economic, and humanistic burden of AD
• Review clinical data from recently approved and emerging AD therapies
• Evaluate benefit design strategies that can contribute to appropriate access and utilization, while simultaneously managing costs and improving treatment outcomes
• Assess the benefits of multidisciplinary care in AD patients
