WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of health-system pharmacy professionals attending the 51st ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition.

STATEMENT OF NEED / PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Due to the advent of new and more costly treatment modalities, the management of pediatric and adult hemophilia patients has become more complex for health care providers. In the absence of a coordinated educational effort, the full benefits of care coordination and the comprehensive care model have not yet been achieved. Appropriate management is vital to minimizing and preventing long-term issues that can contribute to higher costs. These findings support the need for continued education involving the effective management of patients in a health-system setting. They emphasize the need for a well-coordinated patient management effort, the importance of understanding the most cost-effective ways of using available treatments, and importance of collaboration among all stakeholders, which includes leveraging the comprehensive care model utilized by HTCs. The symposium will provide the latest clinical updates and recommended guidelines and will showcase an interactive case study discussion between the expert faculty panel, which includes an HTC provider and a hemophilia-focused health-system pharmacist.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to:
  • Describe current and evolving strategies for health-system pharmacists to facilitate high quality care for patients with hemophilia
  • Cite the most recent clinical recommendations for the treatment of patients with hemophilia, including investigational agents and the role of novel agents
  • Explain hemophilia-related complications associated with emergency department visits and its significant clinical and economic consequences
  • Identify processes for health-system pharmacists to improve communications and collaborations with hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs)
