Live Q&A: Cardiology: Real-World Tactics to Address Health Inequities is organized by CME Outfitters, LLC.
Premiere Date: Thursday, December 29, 2022

Description:
More than 12 million people in the United States will have AF by 2030, quintupling their risk for severe ischemic strokes. While the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has enhanced stroke prophylaxis in AF, these medications are not equitably offered to all individuals, for a variety of reasons – both explicit and implicit. In this CME Outfitters BriefCase activity, an expert faculty followed the journey of a 48-year-old Black female with AF to illuminate disparities in the quality of care she was offered.
This live Q&A session with the original BriefCase faculty is your opportunity to ask questions about how implicit bias, social determinants of health, shared decision-making, and health literacy can impact the care of your own patients with AF, and what you can do to ensure appropriate anticoagulation to prevent ischemic stroke is available to all who need it.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:
• Identify the impact of health inequities in cardiology patients with atrial fibrillation.
• Individualize a holistic treatment plan for cardiology care to improve patient outcomes.
