18CE070 - Nutritional Considerations in Common Comorbidities of Hemophilia

This online learning activity aims to enable learners from the federally-recognized U.S. Hemophilia Treatment Center Network (USHTCN) to develop competencies regarding the roles and responsibilities of the registered dietitian nutritionist on the multidisciplinary comprehensive care team, and to gain familiarity with nutritional considerations in common comorbidities of hemophilia, to include hepatitis C, HIV, iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, obesity, and dyslipidemia.

• Discuss the roles and responsibilities of the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist on the hemophilia comprehensive care team
• Examine the components of the nutrition assessment administered by the HTC Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
• Evaluate nutrition objectives and dietary interventions for common comorbidities of hemophilia
• Identify important considerations and discussion points for persons with hemophilia regarding dietary supplements

Registered dietitian nutritionists, nurses, physical therapists, social workers, and other members of the multidisciplinary comprehensive care team at U.S. Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs) who are involved in or support the nutritional health of patients

At HTCs, patients may experience nutritional challenges related to hepatitis C, HIV, iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, overweight and obesity, and dyslipidemia. There is an important role for a registered dietitian or someone serving in this capacity to promote optimal nutritional health, provide nutrition services to both pediatric and adult patients by making appropriate nutrition recommendations depending on an individual's needs, and provide ongoing support until an individuals' nutrition goals are met. This module seeks to address this need.

18CE082 - Dear Diary: The Importance of Infusion Logs in Hemophilia Home Treatment

This online learning activity aims to enable the learner to increase knowledge pertaining to the role and importance of infusion log-keeping for hemophilia home treatment; as well as to familiarize the learner with patient/provider viewpoints and clinical application of infusion logs in hemophilia care.

• Explain the importance of maintaining an accurate patient medical record
• Outline the initial concerns about home treatment of hemophilian
• Compare the qualities of paper and electronic infusion logs
• Identify at least three potential applications of infusion logs in clinical practice

Nurses and other multidisciplinary hemophilia treatment center (HTC) staff engaged in the care of patients who utilize home infusion therapy for treatment of hemophilia.

While most hemophilia treatment centers throughout the United States encourage or require patients to maintain home infusion logs, there is a notable absence of literature regarding how these logs are used in clinical practice. There is also a shortage of concise information summarizing the purpose of infusion logs, types of infusion logs, patient and provider sentiments regarding logs, and uses for logs. This module aims to fill that gap by providing nurses with a very straightforward overview of these important items, with the hope that it will ultimately encourage greater clinical applications of infusion logs.
