Program Description
Addressing Aspects of Quality of Life When Treating Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis, often incorrectly referred to as eczema, is an inflammatory skin disorder most commonly presenting during early childhood and affecting individuals through adulthood. Disease burden on the health care system is estimated to exceed $4.3 billion annually with urgent care costs doubling in recent years. The recurrent nature of intense itching and eczematous lesions along with increased risk for other diseases of atopy can lead to a significant burden on quality of life. Advances in identifying the genetic and immunologic components of atopic dermatitis is fueling an expansive growth of novel treatment approaches. This will result in improved disease burden with increased utilization and costs.
During this session, faculty will discuss the complications atopic dermatitis has on quality of life at various ages, treatment strategies to minimize disease burden, the health care utilization and costs involved with the management of atopic dermatitis and explore emerging agents that improve outcomes in different age groups with atopic dermatitis.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Define the etiology and clinical presentation of atopic dermatitis.
2. Describe the influence atopic dermatitis has on quality of life both mentally and physically for children, adolescents, adults, and their caregivers.
3. Recognize the impact atopic dermatitis has on health care utilization and prescription drug costs within managed care organizations.
4. Discuss current and pipeline treatment options for different age groups with atopic dermatitis.
Target Audience
This knowledge-based activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of pharmacists in managed care settings.
