Pfizer is committed to helping people with atopic dermatitis (AD) become empowered to play an important role in managing their medical condition. What does personal empowerment mean? It is a process that may help patients work with their medical team to act on medical and lifestyle issues that they, together, define as important. Empowerment means becoming a partner with the healthcare professional (HCP) team to participate in shared decision-making on personal treatment-related issues and options.
The following materials—created by Pfizer Medical Affairs—seek to provide important content for people who have AD and their caregivers. These materials:
Atopic Dermatitis: Disease Diagnosis and Management Materials
Personal empowerment begins with patients understanding how AD can be diagnosed and managed. These materials provide a helpful overview of AD, including disease characteristics and some ways to manage it.
A brochure that provides a more in depth overview of AD and addresses the importance of taking your medication as prescribed.
This brochure outlines the key discussion points to cover with the AD Care Team-which may be comprised of the patient's dermatologist, allergist, primary care physician or pediatrician, pharmacist, nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, and medical assistant—in creating a formal care plan to support AD treatment.
This instructional form illustrates how to apply topical medications. A unit of measurement - the FTU (fingertip unit) is introduced to show how much of a topical ointment or cream to apply depending on the patient's age and extent of the body surface affected.
This questionnaire lets a patient (or patient's caregiver) evaluate some of the signs and symptoms of AD and generates important information to discuss with the doctor regarding the severity of their disease.
This form lets you enter information-based on your answers to the POEM questionnaire to share with your healthcare team regarding the severity of your AD.
An animated video that provides instructions on how to complete the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) tracking form and record information to share with your healthcare team.
This questionnaire is designed to assess how much a patient’s skin condition has impacted their quality of life over a 7-day period. Patients can write down their scores and bring the information to their next appointment to help their doctor understand the effect of AD on their daily life.
This form allows the patient to rate the severity of their AD. Recording their score and sharing the information with their doctor may help with assessing the severity and personal burden of their condition at the time of their visit.
This scale allows patients to rate the severity of their itch over the previous 24 hours. This form may help their doctor assess the severity and personal burden of their condition over the last 24 hours.
When completed by the AD Care Team, this form educates patients about AD by providing customized instructions that may help in the management of AD including flares and identifying possible triggers.
