Description:

During this webinar, three speakers will share how their HTCs are increasing patient access to care both during and outside of regular clinic appointments. Rebecca Babkiewicz will discuss Hemophilia of Georgia’s (HoG) approach to establishing outreach clinics that take care of patients using a mix of in-person care and telehealth. She will discuss how this approach has increased HoG’s ability to reach patients in certain geographic areas, including those lost to follow up due to transportation barriers. Tami Bullock, of University of Iowa Health Care, will provide an overview of her HTC’s community nurse program, and how it’s been designed to complement in-person care at the HTC and support patients in successfully caring for their bleeding disorders at home. Finally, Nicole Reynaud, of the Louisiana Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders, will discuss her HTC’s approach to providing nursing phone coverage 24/7 through a rotating nursing schedule and can provide in home infusion services through Acadian Health after hours to prevent unnecessary trips to ER. Each speaker will discuss how their HTC decided to implement that specific approach and share practical implementation tips, lessons learned, and future plans. This webinar is free and open to all disciplines. Free CEUs are provided. Please join us!

This webinar is jointly provided by Partners for Advancing Clinical Education (PACE) and ATHN. There is no cost associated with this webinar.
