Recognizing the Profound Impact on Quality of Life: Emerging Therapy Options for Patients with Myelofibrosis
In this combined enduring and live ONS chapter meeting activity, Recognizing the Profound Impact on Quality of Life: Emerging Therapy Options for Patients with Myelofibrosis, learn from expert faculty to effectively identify how JAK inhibitors and emerging treatments for myelofibrosis (MF) optimize clinical outcomes by improving overall patient quality of life (QOL). Learners will first participate in an enduring online program on the following topics: patient risk and drug mechanisms of action for effective treatment and management, gaps in MF care that influence patient QOL, disease- and treatment-related adverse events, trust with patients to improve outcomes and QOL, shared decision-making and the unique role of multidisciplinary teams. After completion of the enduring program, learners will have the opportunity to network with expert faculty at select live ONS chapter meetings at which time they will discuss various case studies regarding treatment selection and patient QOL. Learners will also participate in discussion questions and have time for one-on-one interaction with faculty and others nursing professionals.
Integrating Novel Therapies in Hemophilia in the Midst of Bridging Health Inequities
As the treatment armamentarium for patients with hemophilia continues to expand, there is an urgent need for healthcare providers to stay up-to-date on the latest advances so that they are prepared to integrate them into clinical practice. To bridge this gap, this interactive educational activity will provide a review of the science surrounding new and emerging hemophilia treatments and their mechanisms of action; recent safety and efficacy data from key clinical trials; and novel dosing strategies to mitigate adverse events. Engaging case-based discussions and insights on addressing common patient barriers and clinical challenges will be explored by expert faculty, including a guest spotlight offering the early perspective.  Thus, this educational initiative is designed to equip providers with the necessary tools to effectively navigate new and novel therapies, overcome patient-level barriers, and optimize adherence for improved patient outcomes.
The Difference Between Palliative and Hospice Care
The Difference between Palliative Care and Hospice that result in Barriers to Care. What you will learn from this module:   Learn the assumptions and perceptions patients and their families have about the purpose of transitioning to hospice care. Understand the myths associated with agreeing to receive palliative care. Understand that palliative care stands alone and should be part of a patient’s care from the beginning when they are diagnosed with advanced cancer. Learn the barriers to implementing palliative care. Learn the value of palliative care when delivering patient centered care. Learn about how palliative care is also part of hospice care.
The Value and Importance of Not Postponing Joy
Educating your advanced cancer patients about the value and importance of not postponing joy. There is a tendency to avoid discussing the future, too far in advance, with your patients with advanced disease. The sooner we bring up the topic of not postponing joy, the better however. Patients may even say that they are planning on a family vacation to Disney World in 2 years. Your thoughts immediately go to estimating when she will be likely too ill to go but may not be verbalizing this to her. You don’t want to take away hope and burst that bubble. It however isn’t fair to the patient to be assuming that no response from you regarding such an announcement, or worse, saying that this sounds great, is doing her an injustice. Additionally, though she may still be living in two years and technically able to go to Disney World, she may very well be spending her time in the hotel room and not enjoying herself and her children/grandchildren doing park activities. Her goal wasn’t to be in a bed too weak to partake of this important family adventure. This is why a discussion about “Don’t Postpone Joy” is so important. It fits for many clinical settings too.
The Evolution of HCT, Part 5: Shared Care
Community hematology/oncology practices play a critical role to expand patient access to hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and improve patient outcomes. This self-guided online training course series consists of five courses designed to present the current state of the science for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) by following the evolution of HCT over time. The series is broken down into major misperceptions or myths about HCT and cellular therapy that are not supported by current research and clinical practice. This is Part 5 in a 5-part series, exploring how shared and coordinated care between transplant centers and hematology/oncology practices can help overcome barriers to HCT and improve patient outcomes and experience.
The Burden of Vaccine-Preventable Disease: Assessing Risk in Older Adults
Healthcare providers (HCPs) encounter significant challenges in vaccine acceptance. A critical need exists among primary care providers (PCPs) to remain abreast of the continuously evolving vaccination landscape. As such, PCPs need to be able to evaluate the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases, provide well-founded recommendations for vaccine measures, and apply appropriate strategies to address vaccine hesitations.
