July 8, 2021
5:00 PM Eastern, July 8, 2022
The estimated time to complete this activity is 30 minutes.
The purpose of this activity is to enable the learners to increase knowledge of the care needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs), the emotional and social development of adolescence, the six core elements of a transition program, and the emotional/social milestones that should be addressed in a transition program for AYAs living with sickle cell disease (SCD).
This online learning activity is focused on improving health outcomes for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with sickle cell disease (SCD) by improving transition programs and services available for these individuals. The activity will review the emotional and social development of adolescence. It will also discuss the health risks associated with transition among AYAs living with SCD. The module differentiates the pediatric and adult models of care, and examines the six core elements of transition programs, as derived from www.GotTransition.org. Finally, the activity will discuss the medical, social, and educational milestones that should be addressed in transition programs for AYAs with SCD.
This enduring material is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, and other health care providers who treat adolescents and young adults with sickle cell disease and wish to improve outcomes associated with the transition from pediatric to adult care for these patients.
At the conclusion of this enduring material, the participants should be better able to:

Reducing Complications of Therapeutic Blood Transfusion in Sickle Cell Disease
Transfusion is an established therapy in sickle cell disease. It can treat and prevent certain disease complications, reducing morbidity and mortality; but there are unique aspects of transfusing individuals with sickle cell disease that must be taken into consideration to maximize benefits and minimize complications. In 2014, the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health released an expert panel report on sickle cell disease management that includes evidence-based recommendations for transfusion and the avoidance and management of transfusion complications. In addition, guidelines from Great Britain were published in 2017 addressing laboratory and clinical management of transfusion in sickle cell disease. This course presents these and other important aspects of quality, effective care for individuals with sickle cell disease.
Activities are designed to increase knowledge and change competency of transfusion practices and strategies for individuals with hemoglobin disorders. Content is derived from actual peer-reviewed publications.
