80048313 - Third Annual Sickle Cell Symposium

Friday, May 3, 2019, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM EST, Mt. Washington Conference Center


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 patient 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. Sickle cell providers who participate will receive knowledge and tools necessary to deliver effective, evidence-based care by affecting healthcare practices at the level of the individual and the larger health system.
