Friday, February 27, 2015, 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. MT.
At this event, traditional opinions regarding the care of difficult-to-treat patients are challenged. A discussion will be led on new approaches to manage patients who are older and possess multiple morbidities. Dr. Michael H. Kanter will speak on field-proven tactics that help clinicians reduce health disparities among those with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes.
Objectives:
- Learn practical strategies used by Kaiser Permanente that can readily be exported to any health system to improve control of blood pressure, lipids, and blood sugar to improve patient outcomes.
- Learn strategies that have been effective in reducing the disparities in the better management of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes.
- Learn effective approaches to overcome the notion held by many providers that their patients are older, sicker, more diverse---the reason why their patients are not in acceptable control ranges for deadly and disabling conditions.
