Clinical Cases: Applying Evidence-Based Medicine to Care of Older Persons
Welcome to the inaugural BCGP Clinical Case Workshop!
The care of older adults can be complex and challenging with multiple comorbidities and intricate histories that complicate disease state management in this population. ASCP launched a workshop to help pharmacists apply clinical guidelines and evidence-based medicine when caring for older adult patients. Participants will complete 10 hours of home study with guided questions that provide background with clinical guidelines for pertinent disease states. The workshop will allow participants to apply the latest evidence-based medicine to two patient cases that follow a patient across various care settings.
This workshop includes 3 parts:
- - 5.5 hours pre-work with literature review related to COPD, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and end-of-life care with guided assessment questions to be completed before review of the webinar
- - 4.5 hours recorded presentation to actively work through patient cases
- - Multiple-choice assessment following the conclusion of the live workshop
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this application-based activity, participants
should be able to:
- Discuss the risks and benefits of individual treatment options when caring for older people.
- Apply current practice guidelines and research findings to a patient case involving an older person.
- Compare and contrast disease state management and goals of care when treating an older person in different care settings.
- Evaluate two case studies and develop personalized plans for older adults.
