NHPCC Engage Webinar

Supporting Aging Patients with Bleeding Disorders

Original Webinar Date: January 15, 2025

 from 2:30 pm

 - 3:30 pm

 EST

Description:

This webinar will focus on what one HTC is learning about working with aging patients. Presenters from Versiti’s Comprehensive Center for Bleeding Disorders, in Milwaukee, WI, will share a case study that highlights how the HTC supported the aging patient living with hemophilia, as well as staff reflections on this work. Presenters will share how they approached this specific case from their own disciplines, and their lessons learned to inform future work with aging patients. Presenters will touch on identifying older adults at higher risk for falls, managing comorbidities, addressing transportation issues and living arrangements, navigating family support or lack thereof, and more. Speakers will highlight each discipline’s role in creating a realistic plan for each patient. This webinar is free and open to all HTC disciplines. Free CEUs are available. Please join us!
