Current Challenges and Emerging Approaches in IBD Management

Current Challenges and Emerging Approaches in IBD Management is organized by Integrity Continuing Education Inc..,Release date: 26- 08- 2022,Expiration date: 26-08- 2023,Description:,Program Overview:,In recent years, advancements in the understanding of the immunopathology of ulcerative colitis (UC) have resulted in a significant expansion of therapeutic options targeting several different pathological mechanisms. Despite these improvements, many patients continue to experience suboptimal control of their condition, including frequent flares and steroid dependence. Delays in starting biologic therapy contribute to inadequate disease control, and insufficient knowledge among clinicians regarding the efficacy and safety of new and emerging agents continue to create management challenges in a subset of patients. This educational activity will increase clinician understanding of the importance of early biologic therapy by exploring new and emerging treatments in UC and providing tools to assist clinicians in engaging patients in their treatment and disease management to lead to better adherence and improved patient-centered outcomes.,Learning Objectives:,Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:,• Recognize the prevalence of suboptimal outcomes in IBD and understand the value of routine disease monitoring for successful management,• Evaluate the benefits associated with the earlier introduction of new targeted therapies into the management of UC,• Apply clinical data to clinical practice and incorporate new and emerging IBD therapies, once they become available, to improve patient outcomes,• Develop an evidence-based treatment selection protocol and incorporate patient preferences into shared decision-making for the successful management of IBD,Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
