Metastatic Breast Cancer Retreats: Value to the Patient and Your Multidisciplinary Team

Delivering Patient Centered Care
Patient-centered care is a model of care that respects the patient’s experience, values, needs and preferences in the planning, coordination and delivery of care. A central component of this model is a therapeutic relationship between the patient and the team of healthcare professionals. The implementation of a patient-centered care model has been shown to contribute to improved outcomes for patients, better use of resources, decreased costs and increased satisfaction with care. This article provides an overview of the barriers to providing patient-centered care and identifies strategies that can be implemented to overcome them.
The Evolution of HCT, Part 1: Basics and Outcomes
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 1 in a 5-part series, including the series introduction, basics of HCT, and major advances in HCT outcomes over time.
The Nine Elements to Experience a Good and Peaceful Death
Evolving the conversation with your patients from “I’m sorry you are going to die” to “Let me help you experience a good and peaceful death”. This video will demonstrate how to clearly communicate the nine evidence-based elements to a good and peaceful death and how to structure that conversation with your patient. What you will learn from this module: No matter what someone’s eventual cause of death will be, including our own, people will benefit from learning the 9 elements and how to achieve them. The timing of when to have such a discussion with a patient with advanced cancer very much influences her willingness to listen to her oncology specialist/provider of care, and be ready to embark on fulfilling these 9 elements. There is benefit in being able to tell a patient that you, her doctor, has already completed these 9 elements for yourself, demonstrating that they are appropriate for everyone, no matter their current health status. By doing so, it doesn’t cause the patient to feel that they have to complete it because they are dying. Patients all have different personal psychosocial experiences over their lifetime and these experiences and relationship with family and others influences how they approach each of these elements and complete them. Fulfilling these 9 elements cannot be achieved in a few days. This is why it is important to have this discussion in advance of a patient literally approaching end of life. Patients may need as much as 2 months to complete all of these elements, each one taking a different length of time. Helping patients learn about the 9 elements and making it an assignment for them to complete is a way to give patients something they can control during a time that they feel they cannot control anything. Some answers to these 9 elements will be surprising to you, and will provide you greater insight into your patients’ psychosocial history and current needs. You as the patient’s provider of care should launch the discussion about the 9 elements however there is no expectation that you need to help the patient literally think about each one with you and provide the answers. It is also okay to delegate someone like a nurse navigator, psyche nurse from your oncology team, social worker, or therapist to review in detail with the patient each element. Each element carries its own weight in the eyes of the patient. Some elements may be considered by her to be the most important ones to her where another patient identifies totally different ones that she sees as major. Making sure however that legal and financial affairs are in order is critical for everyone, including ourselves, and should be prioritized as such.
Keeping Up with CAR T-cell Therapy: A Case-based Challenge of CART in NHL + MM
Nurses are often at the front lines of clinical care and as such, are perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between evolving clinical evidence and patient-centered care in Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) and Multiple Myeloma (MM). This dynamic educational activity will equip nursing professionals with the critical skills to integrate the latest advancements in CAR T-cell therapy into practice, ensuring alignment with NCCN guidelines and patient preferences. Through interactive case studies and expert-led discussions, you’ll be empowered to manage complex treatment scenarios, deliver comprehensive patient education, and navigate even the trickiest treatment-related challenges.
Transforming Relapsed/Refractory MCL: Exploring New Options for Your Patients
Treatment for R/R MCL is complicated, as the disease typically presents in elderly, unfit patients; however, emerging targeted therapy options have shown great promise based on excellent results in clinical trials. In this activity, a taped version of the live symposium at the 17th Annual International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma, expert faculty present therapeutic options, established by evidence-based practice guidelines, for patients with R/R MCL. Symposium learners voted on patient demographics and parameters such as treatment, dosing frequency, and adverse events. The experts crafted their lecture to follow thheir suggestions allowing the case studies to reflect the patients the learners see. The activity concludes with a discussion on engagement between healthcare providers and patients to improve clinical outcomes.
