Psoriasis Severity Assessment Form

Streamline Psoriasis Assessment with Paperform

Managing psoriasis patients requires comprehensive evaluation of disease severity, treatment response, and quality of life factors. This Psoriasis Severity Assessment Form template provides dermatologists, dermatology nurses, and healthcare providers with a structured, professional tool to assess body surface area involvement, symptom severity, and biologic therapy eligibility—all before the patient walks through the door.

Why Digital Psoriasis Assessments Matter

Traditional paper-based symptom checkers are time-consuming to complete, difficult to score consistently, and challenging to integrate into electronic health records. With Paperform's psoriasis assessment template, you can:

• Save valuable consultation time by gathering detailed symptom information before appointments
• Standardize severity scoring using validated assessment scales (PASI-like criteria, BSA calculations)
• Identify biologic therapy candidates early in the treatment journey
• Track treatment outcomes by comparing assessments over time
• Improve patient engagement with accessible, mobile-friendly forms

Designed for Modern Dermatology Practices

This template serves multiple clinical scenarios:

Pre-Visit Assessment: Send to patients 24-48 hours before their appointment so you can review their current disease status and prepare treatment recommendations.

Initial Consultation: Use during first visits to establish baseline severity, functional impact, and treatment history.

Treatment Monitoring: Deploy quarterly or semi-annually to track disease progression and treatment efficacy.

Biologic Screening: Identify patients who may benefit from advanced biologic therapies based on severity thresholds and quality of life impact.

What's Included in This Template

The form guides patients through a comprehensive assessment covering:

• Body Surface Area (BSA) Mapping: Visual body diagram with percentage calculations to determine extent of skin involvement
• Lesion Characteristics: Erythema, scaling, thickness, and plaque morphology
• Symptom Severity Scoring: Itching, pain, burning, and bleeding intensity ratings
• Anatomical Distribution: Special attention to high-impact areas (scalp, face, hands, feet, nails, genitals)
• Quality of Life Impact: Validated questions addressing psychological, social, and functional limitations
• Treatment History: Current and previous therapies, response rates, and reasons for discontinuation
• Biologic Eligibility Screening: Contraindications, infection history, and readiness for systemic therapy
• Photographic Documentation: Secure image upload for visual assessment

Intelligent Logic and Scoring

Paperform's conditional logic automatically:

• Calculates total body surface area affected based on patient inputs
• Determines severity classification (mild, moderate, severe)
• Flags patients meeting biologic therapy criteria
• Shows or hides follow-up questions based on previous answers
• Routes urgent cases for immediate review
