Overview

The often debilitating condition of hemophilic arthropathy is treated with elective total joint arthroplasty. Little has been published addressing the role of thromboembolic prophylaxis in the hemophilic patient population following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Although the American College of Chest Physicians and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons have set guidelines for thromboembolic prophylaxis in the general population, no such standard of care is in place for hemophilic patients.

Overview

This article will provide participants education on best practices for training patients and staff in new technologies for medical practices. As practices come under increasing pressure to adopt and implement EHR systems and other types of mobile technology, it is vital that they develop a plan for systematic training for end users. The literature shows that inadequate training on EHR and practice management systems can contribute to less than optimal implementation, which reduces practice efficiency and effectiveness — and ultimately affects the quality of patient care. This activity covers technical-skills assessment; customized training; effective methods for launching new systems; and optimal use of patient technologies such as patient portals and kiosks.

Overview

Retinal vein occlusion is a common vascular disorder of the retina and a leading cause of blindness that affects millions of people around the world. There are 2 forms of retinal vein occlusion: central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Both conditions are caused by an obstruction in a retinal vein. If the thrombus develops in the main vein that drains the retina, CRVO occurs, while an obstruction in a branch of the retinal vein leads to BRVO. Both CRVO and BRVO may cause increased pressure in the capillaries, ultimately resulting in hemorrhage. Perhaps the most striking features of retinal vein occlusion are the insidious onset and sudden loss of vision. Recent breakthroughs in understanding the pathogenesis of retinal vein occlusion have led to the use of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors in ophthalmology along with steroids, laser treatment, and surgery. The goal of this continuing medical education activity is to review the recent developments in this field and discuss the efficacy and safety of treatment options in light of currently available treatments.

Overview

This article will provide participants education on developing and promoting efficient patient flow in their practices. The ability to move patients through the practice with minimal delay enables practices to increase volume without sacrificing quality of care. It also helps practices deliver a more positive patient experience by decreasing wait times and giving doctors more time to spend with their patients. That extra attention can help patients adhere to treatment regimens and keep follow-up appointments; both promoting superior patient outcomes.

Whilst there are no new chapters as such, the immediate impact of the revision is in the improved page layout with increased use of diagrams and flowcharts.
