This session will explore three projects focused on making improvements to the experience of comprehensive care for patients and/or HTC staff. Presenters will share the inspiration for the changes they have made to comprehensive care, as well as operational elements of the projects and their lessons and takeaways.

Becca Shaheen, HTC Quality Improvement and Program Coordinator with Children’s Minnesota, will share about her reminder phone calls to patients in which she runs through a comprehensive care appointment checklist to ensure patients are prepared for their visits and bring all necessary information to clinic. Marsha Hurn, Social Worker with the Bleeding and Clotting Institute in Illinois, will discuss a time study her HTC implemented to decrease the length of time for comprehensive care appointments. Finally, Laura Singer-Fox, Physical Therapist, and Emily Wheat, Assistant Professor, both from the University of Colorado HTC, will discuss a project focused on ensuring that women and girls with hemophilia A or B or vWD type 3 presenting to clinic receive physical therapy evaluations at the same rate as men and boys with these same diagnoses.

This webinar is open to all disciplines working within hemophilia treatment centers that are part of the Regional Hemophilia Networks. Free CEUs are available for nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, physician assistants, and social workers.
