Benchmarking Care in Psoriatic Arthritis - The QUANTUM Report: A Report from the GRAPPA 2016 Annual Meeting
Abstract
Members of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA), in partnership with KPMG LLP (UK), conducted interviews at selected research centers around the globe to analyze the process of care in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA): pre-diagnosis, referral and diagnosis, treatment, and followup. Ten major challenges emerged, many of which were universally recognized across centers; the top 4 included limited awareness of PsA among non-rheumatologists, a disparate approach to care, late referral and diagnosis, and an inadequate management of comorbidities.
Keywords: GRAPPA; OUTCOMES; PSORIASIS; PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS; QUALITY OF CARE.
