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.
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.

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.
