80065030 - Sixth Annual SiNERGe Symposium

Sunday, September 15, 2024, 6:00 PM - Monday, September 16, 2024, 4:30 PM, Hilton Baltimore BWI Airport, Linthicum , MD


Sickle Cell Disease is the most common of the rare diseases. Despite over 100,000 individuals living with sickle cell disease, there is a lack of providers knowledgeable in the management of sickle cell disease. This barrier to accessing quality evidence-based care leads to poor outcomes and poor utilization. This course aims to address the paucity of sickle cell knowledge among healthcare providers and team members who provide care for patients with sickle cell disease by providing information and development activities to promote quality improvement in sickle cell disease care.

1. Manage individuals with illness related to sickle cell disease.
2. Distinguish best practices and national guidelines for the care of an individual with sickle cell disease.
3. Appraise opportunities for quality improvement in sickle cell care in health care organizations.
4. Apply strategies for recruiting sickle cell care providers to telemonitoring opportunities.
5. Summarize a Plan - Do - Act Cycle for quality improvement projects.
