Target Audience
  • Medical Directors and Pharmacy Directors from health plans, HMOs, integrated health systems, employers, quality organizations, and other managed care organizations (MCOs)
  • Managed care-affiliated care team members involved with patient evaluation, education, and follow-up for hemophilia patients including: physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and case managers
Learning Goal/Purpose
This educational initiative is designed to provide managed care professionals with the latest clinical data and practice strategies in the management of pediatric and adult hemophilia patients in health plan and other managed care settings.

Program Overview
Due to the advent of new and more costly treatment modalities, the management of pediatric and adult hemophilia patients has become more complicated for physicians, nurses, case managers, payers, specialty pharmacies, home health providers and family/caregivers. In the absence of a coordinated educational effort, the full benefits of care coordination have not yet been achieved.

This educational initiative will provide managed care professionals with the latest information, presented by multi-disciplinary expert faculty, on the management of pediatric and adult hemophilia patients in health plan and other managed care settings. The hemophilia comprehensive care team is represented on the faculty panel, including Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) Medical Directors, HTC Nurse Coordinators, Managed Care Executives, and Specialty Pharmacy and Home Infusion Providers.

Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

Track 1: Clinical Overview
  • Differentiate general hemophilia from hemophilia with inhibitors, including the unique challenges associated with inhibitors
  • Discuss the impact of changes in the treatment of pediatric and adult hemophilia within participants' own organizations
Track 2: Care Management Strategies
  • Improve integration of available resources, such as HTCs, in clinical treatment and overall patient management
  • Identify opportunities to engage key clinical and financial stakeholders in the medical care and management of pediatric and adult hemophilia patients to increasing the effectiveness of all participants in the care process
Track 3: Access, Coverage, and Care Issues
  • Evaluate the impact of changes in the treatment of pediatric and adult hemophilia within participants' own organizations
  • Evaluate current formulary development and management techniques including specialty pharmacy arrangements and incorporate new concepts to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of care for both pediatric and adult hemophilia patients
