PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Atopic dermatitis (AD), or eczema, is a complex, chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease marked by pruritus and skin irritation. Recent studies have documented the adverse effects of AD on mental health and quality of life and new evidence suggests a relationship between AD and other chronic, nonallergic conditions including obesity, cardiovascular disease, autoimmunity, and malignancies. The webcasts are focused on AD diagnosis and treatment, impact of emerging therapies, adherence to therapy, and management of the pharmacy benefit. Each is specifically designed to meet the needs of health care decision makers (HCDMs) from health plans, insurers, health systems, and other payers responsible for the benefit management, therapeutic category review, and AD clinical pathway development.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing the activity, participants should be better able to:
  • Review recent insights into the pathophysiology of AD
  • Discuss the safety, efficacy and attributes of emerging therapies for the treatment of AD
  • Evaluate strategies to align diagnosis and treatment strategies with current evidence-based guidelines
  • Apply practical approaches to improve adherence to AD treatment
  • Assess benefit design strategies to improve overall patient outcomes for AD
