August 29, 2022

5:00 PM Eastern, August 29, 2024
The estimated time to complete this activity is 60 minutes.

The activity aims to enable the learner to understand the process of advance care planning, the associated healthcare decision making document aids, and additional resources to assure patient's wishes are elicited and documented in a meaningful manner.

This learning activity provides education on the development of a robust Advance Care Planning (ACP) program and covers the goals, barriers, and enabling strategies to implement an ACP program with patients. This module also offers many ACP resource documents, patient decision aids, and communication tools and techniques for how to facilitate these ACP conversations with patients to honor their wishes when it comes to their goals of care during this period of life.
The content level of this activity is intermediate.

This accredited continuing education activity is designed for physicians, advance practice clinicians, social workers, and nurses caring for patients with bleeding disorders. This activity will additionally target care managers, spiritual care specialists, and other multidisciplinary providers involved in caring for patients with bleeding disorders.

At the conclusion of this activity, the participants should be better able to:

• Discuss complexities and demands of today's older adults to both live and die well?
• Describe various advance care planning program implementation strategies
• Employ completion of advance care planning documents with patients
• Facilitate advance care planning conversations with patients and families using various communication tools and techniques
• Identify advance care planning reimbursement opportunities with CMS and various insurance companies?

22HT00046 – Understanding Hemophilia

February 24, 2022

5:00 PM Eastern, February 23, 2024
The estimated time to complete this activity is 120 minutes.

"Understanding Hemophilia" is a 6-part online learning activity that aims to enable clinicians at U.S. Hemophilia Treatment Centers to gain knowledge and develop expertise on the pathogenesis, inheritance, symptoms, potential complications, and clinical management of hemophilia.

This 6-part online learning activity introduces basic concepts of hemophilia.

Part 1: Pathogenesis & Inheritance examines the coagulation system and processes, the deficit in hemophilia that interferes with clot formation, differences among types of hemophilia, and the sex-linked inheritance pattern of hemophilia.

Part 2: Symptoms & Sequelae distinguishes bleeding patterns and clinical presentation of hemophilia based on severity, differentiates types of bleeding episodes, and discusses physical/psychosocial sequelae of hemophilia.

Part 3: Factor Concentrates & Hemophilia Management discusses episodic and prophylactic management of hemophilia with clotting factor concentrate, different factor therapy protocols, and nursing considerations in administration of clotting factor concentrates.

Part 4: Introduction to Inhibitors explains the immune response and inhibitor development, signs/symptoms and risk factors of inhibitors, the impact of inhibitors on persons with hemophilia, inhibitor treatment strategies and challenges, and the positive health outcomes of immune tolerance induction therapy.

Part 5: Emicizumab covers the novel agent emicizumab, including its indications, mechanism of action, dosing options, lab considerations; as well as management of breakthrough bleeding, the boxed warning of emicizumab, use of emicizumab concurrently with bypassing agents, and potential considerations in the management of persons with hemophilia with or without inhibitors who utilize emicizumab.

Part 6: Carrier Considerations reviews hemophilia sex-linked genetics and introduces recommendations for the management of carriers and women with hemophilia, neonatal diagnosis and circumcision in males with hemophilia, and key considerations of postpartum management of carriers and women with hemophilia.

This enduring material is intended for nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other clinical staff within the federally recognized U.S. Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) network who wish to develop an understanding of basic concepts of hemophilia. The activity is particularly appropriate for clinicians within their first six months of employment at an HTC.

• Describe the pathogenesis and inheritance patterns concerning the different factor deficiencies in hemophilia including the symptoms and sequelae that may occur
• Discuss the target factor levels for situational bleeding episodes in conjunction with the appropriate factor replacement protocols, prophylactic treatments, and nursing considerations in administration of clotting factor concentrates
• Review the development and impact of inhibitors on persons with hemophilia, including signs and symptoms, risk factors, treatment implications, and nursing considerations
• Summarize the MASAC recommendations on the use of Emicizumab such as the indications, management approaches, and concurrent use with bypassing agents
• Articulate the role of genetic testing in the identification of potential carriers and women with hemophilia and the hemostatic management recommendations during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the postpartum phases
