Client management for long term care pharmacy and consultant pharmacists is anchored in skilled nursing, as the population ages new settings are swelling to handle the growth. What does that mean for SNFs, how are they investing in assisted living, independent living and in home care. How do they see pharmacies and pharmacists adjusting services for these settings and for community dwelling patients? Understanding our history, informs our future. Join this workshop and hear from those reading the tea leaves and setting the strategies.

Workshop: Clinical Cases – Applying Evidence-Based Medicine

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 14:54:54 GMT

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 5-hours of home study pre-work with guided questions that provides background with clinical guidelines for pertinent disease states. The on-site experience 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:

5-hours pre-work with literature review related to COPD, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and end-of-life care with guided assessment questions 
4-hours in-person workshop to actively work through patient cases 
Multiple-choice assessment following the conclusion of the live workshop

Workshop: Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) for Medical Professionals

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 15:16:28 GMT

With high rates of chronic pain and the opioid epidemic, various strategies are being explored to help patients with chronic pain. In the last 20 years, pain neuroscience education (PNE) emerged in rehabilitation as an evidence-based, clinically applicable approach to help people with chronic pain. PNE aims to teach patients more about the underlying biology and physiology of their pain experience, using metaphors, examples, and images. To date, a dozen meta-analyses and systematic reviews have shown strong evidence for PNE to positively influence pain ratings, disability scores, limited movement, fear-avoidance, pain catastrophization, and healthcare utilization. Additionally, when PNE is combined with behavioral and movement-based treatments (PNE+), it yields even superior results. PNE literature is now becoming commonplace in medical journals, and it is proposed that ideally, all healthcare providers would collectively use PNE to provide evidence-based, multidisciplinary care for people with chronic pain. First, this lecture aims to update medical providers on the evolution and evidence of PNE, to allow for a working knowledge of this emerging treatment. Second, attendees will be taught ways to use and immediately implement PNE strategies in clinical care and build a more comprehensive relationship with rehabilitation providers using PNE and PNE+ with patients experiencing pain, especially chronic pain.

This workshop includes 4 hours of in-person activity and a post assessment exam.
