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.
Understanding the Impact of Weight on T2D Outcomes
Healthcare providers (HCPs) encounter significant challenges when treating patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). HCPs should be cognizant of when to change or intensify treatment and be aware of options that are non-optimal. As such, HCPs need to be equipped with current professional guidelines, the latest clinical evidence on new and emerging therapies for T2D, and strategies for engaging patients in shared decision-making to effectively prioritize weight management and promote comprehensive T2D care.
Maintain Empathy and Preventing Compassion Fatigue
How to maintain empathy and still deliver your best care possible when you are teetering on compassion fatigue and burnout. Our patients expect a lot from us. Honesty is the most important thing to them. They deserve to receive compassionate care and empathy. There can be a tendency to create a wall between us and our patients so that we can avoid the risk of experiencing compassion fatigue or, worse, burnout.
Lessons Learned from Your Patient's Family After Their Loved One Has Died
Our time spent with patients and their families should not end with the transfer of the patient to hospice care. The patient may even resist such a transfer, feeling abandoned by their medical oncology team. Treatment for treatment’s sake is really bad medical care. Doing an effective job of preparing the patient and family for end of life needs to be the ultimate goal as treatments begin to no longer work. Due to having no contact with families after the patients have died results in losing teaching moments for the team that provided her breast cancer treatment. There is great value in incorporating the family’s needs and understanding into the treatment planning process from the beginning so they are better prepared at the end of her life and beyond.
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.
Supporting the Family Caregiver
The role of the treatment team in supporting the family caregiver. What you will learn from this module: Learn the physical and emotional needs of the caregiver managing the patient at home. Understand the stress and challenges loved ones face while caregiving. Realize that oftentimes the oncologist’s focus is solely on the patient and not on the loved one who is caregiving. Understand that a caregiver for a patient might be someone outside of the family- like a close friend. This can be due to the lack of family members, dysfunctional family dynamics, or ages of family members (young and old).
