The WISDOM Study: A Personalized Approach to Breast Cancer Screening
This activity aims to explore best practices in cancer screening and shed light on the groundbreaking WISDOM Study, which is revolutionizing our approach to screening by testing a personalized precision-medicine method based on individual risk factors for breast cancer in contrast to traditional annual mammograms. Participants will learn how this alternative approach differs from the current “one-size-fits-all” guideline-based method and discuss its potential to significantly improve the effectiveness of screening.

Skilled Nursing Facilities Series: Preventing Unsafe and Avoidable Hospitalizations
Residents in skilled nursing facilities typically have multiple medical diagnoses requiring ongoing management. A key to resident health is for nursing staff to be familiar with individual resident norms so they can identify potential problems and facilitate the necessary provider notification, which may impact outcomes and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations. Because of the risks of hospitalization in frail, elderly residents, clinicians/providers should be aware of these risks when weighing the decision to send a resident to the hospital versus treating them in the facility. This activity will identify conditions that require hospitalization and the potential risks and complications that hospitalizations can pose. The importance of timely identification of resident problems and accurate communication with health care providers who deliver care for residents will also be discussed.

Mental Health Disorders and Follow-up after Higher Levels of Care
This on-demand webcast addresses the current gap between ideal practices (based on current knowledge) and actual practices in how medical practitioners manage patients with behavioral health disorders. Proper diagnosis, timely referrals, and effective treatment plans can aid in bridging the practice gap and improve patient outcomes for those with behavioral health conditions. Learners will gain insight regarding the primary care physician’s (PCP’s) role in behavioral health, how to implement effective referrals, develop skills to implement post-discharge care with timely and effective treatment plans for patients transitioning from higher levels of care back to primary care, provide strategies to combat stigma surrounding behavioral health, and improve coordination of care between PCPs and behavioral health providers. Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures used to evaluate the quality of behavioral health care will also be highlighted.
