Psoriatic Arthritis Screening Made Simple

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) affects up to 30% of people living with psoriasis, yet early detection remains challenging. This Psoriatic Arthritis Screening Questionnaire helps healthcare providers identify patients who may benefit from rheumatology referral and early intervention.

Who This Template Is For

This screening tool is designed for dermatology clinics, rheumatology practices, primary care physicians, and healthcare systems that treat psoriasis patients. Whether you're a dermatologist monitoring your psoriasis patients for joint involvement, a rheumatologist streamlining referrals, or a nurse practitioner conducting comprehensive assessments, this template provides a structured approach to PsA screening.

What Makes This Template Effective

The questionnaire covers all critical assessment areas: joint pain patterns, nail changes (a key predictor of PsA), functional limitations, morning stiffness, family history, and quality of life impact. Built with conditional logic, the form intelligently routes patients based on their responses, ensuring those with concerning symptoms receive appropriate follow-up recommendations.
