Psoriasis patients have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality but are less likely to have traditional cardiovascular risk factors identified or adequately managed. Care coordinators have previously been demonstrated to improve outcomes in patients with chronic diseases (such as comorbid diabetes and depression) and are now routinely embedded in primary care practices in integrated health systems. The goal of this research is to test a novel centralized care coordinator program to assist patients with psoriatic disease in lowering their risk of cardiovascular disease through the application of standard of care approaches to improving modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.
