Psoriasis Cure Now Launches Doctor-Patient Communication Tools
06/21/07
Psoriasis Cure Now, a nonprofit patient advocacy group, has unveiled two new web tools to help people with psoriasis improve their interactions with dermatologists and other physicians. While most people report being very satisfied with their physicians, many psoriasis patients continue to be under-treated and doctor-patient face time is increasingly being squeezed.
With Psoriasis Cure Now's Doctor Visit Questionnaire, a psoriasis patient answers a series of questions online before visiting the doctor. Then the patient prints out a summary of the results and takes it to the doctor appointment. By allowing patients to answer questions at their own pace from the privacy of their own homes, the questionnaire ensures that important areas are not overlooked in the rush of the actual doctor visit, and may facilitate discussion of sensitive topics, including the impact of psoriasis on emotional well-being and on intimacy.
