17CE107 - Improving Access to Care Through Outreach

The purpose of this activity is to explore the importance of access to care and evaluate common barriers to care faced by patients. We will introduce outreach as a model of care, including telemedicine, and review logistical and cost considerations associated with planning an outreach clinic. Two detailed case studies will enable the learner to apply information gained through this activity.

• List four potential barriers to care in vulnerable populations
• Define outreach as it relates to health care delivery
• Differentiate three telemedicine delivery methods
• Discuss considerations involved in planning and financing an outreach clinic
• Summarize the current consensus on the cost-effectiveness of outreach efforts
• Identify current barriers to care, appropriate interventions, and associated outcomes related to a review of detailed patient scenarios

This activity is intended for staff employed within the U.S Hemophilia Treatment Center Network, or USHTCN, to include nurses, social workers, physicians, physical therapists, administrators, and other professionals who wish to understand outreach as it relates to care in vulnerable populations. The activity may also be of interest to hospital or institutional staff responsible for planning and managing outreach programs.

This module describes how the approaches to using outreach clinics may help overcome challenges to the delivery of specialty medical care to individuals with bleeding disorders.
The presenters will review the barriers to patients (geographic, cultural, economic) as well as hemophilia treatment centers (administrative, cost, credentialing) that HTC staff must consider when initiating or maintaining an outreach program.

18CE105 - Psychosocial Considerations in Bleeding Disorder Care: Aging with Hemophilia

This online learning activity aims to enable the learner to provide competent psychosocial support to persons with hemophilia (PWH) as they navigate changes associated with the aging process. The activity will describe the increasing burden of chronic disease in elderly Americans, and the role of extended life expectancy on prevalence of chronic conditions among elderly PWH. The activity assesses psychosocial considerations in managing care for elderly PWH and recommends practical assessment strategies for use in the Hemophilia Treatment Center environment to optimize care of these individuals.

• Describe the increasing burden of chronic disease among persons aged 65 and over in the United States
• Review the evolution of hemophilia treatment and the associated increase in life expectancy among PWH
• Evaluate the prevalence of chronic conditions among elderly PWH
• Assess psychosocial considerations in managing care for elderly PWH
• Incorporate practical psychosocial assessment strategies to utilize in the HTC environment to optimize patient care among elderly PWH

This learning activity is targeted toward social workers, nurses and other members of the multidisciplinary comprehensive care team at U.S. federally-recognized hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) who routinely encounter adult persons with hemophilia (PWH) in need of support to navigate changes associated with the aging process.

This program will identify challenges to successful lifespan development throughout multiple stages of life, from birth to 5 years of age to middle adult to senior years. Intervention options that the HTC can implement throughout the varying stages of life will be explored as well. Lastly the NHF Transition Guidelines will be presented and reviewed.

18CE104 - Psychosocial Consideration in Bleeding Disorder Care: Lifespan Development and Transitions

This module aims to enable the learner to enhance understanding of life skills, transitioning, and considerations relevant when working with persons with bleeding disorders throughout the lifespan.

• Define lifespan development as a process of growth and a framework for studying growth
• Identify challenges to successful lifespan development in persons with bleeding disorders by influencing factors such as developmental stage, family dynamics, and cultural practices or beliefs
• Explore interventions that can be applied in the HTC at different stages in the lifespan to support positive transition
• Review available guidelines to assist in developing appropriate care plans and interventions that support lifespan development and transition

Social workers, nurses and other healthcare professionals at hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) who are involved in helping patients learn the necessary life skills to successfully manage lifespan transitions related to their health care

This program will identify challenges to successful lifespan development throughout multiple stages of life, from birth to 5 years of age to middle adult to senior years. Intervention options that the HTC can implement throughout the varying stages of life will be explored as well. Lastly the NHF Transition Guidelines will be presented and reviewed.
