In-person care is the control group because it is currently considered the standard of care in delivering dermatologic services. The intervention includes regular visits to a physician, and may include such treatments as ointments, steroids or ultraviolet therapy at the discretion of a physician. In-person care is the major healthcare-delivery model for managing chronic skin diseases and a realistic, primary option that patients face. The patients in the in-person arm can seek atopic dermatitis care from primary care practitioners or dermatologists, just as they would in the real world.

The intervention arm is the team-based connected health (TCH) model, which purports to increase access to specialists and improve outcomes. Specifically, TCH offers multiple modalities for patients and primary care providers (PCPs) to access dermatologists online directly and asynchronously. TCH also fosters team care and patient engagement through active sharing of management plans and multidirectional, informed communication among patients, PCPs, and dermatologists.

Team-Based Connected Health (TCH): TCH is an asynchronous, secure online platform where patients can upload images of atopic dermatitis disease and submit assessments. Likewise, practitioners can request and/or initiate dermatology consultations, assume longitudinal care or communicate with patients directly.
