Navigating the Expansive World of IBD
2nd Annual Conference on IBD - Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Activity Details
Activity Name: Navigating the Expansive World of IBD
Description: 2nd Annual Conference on IBD - Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Needs Assessment: The target audience includes healthcare providers caring for IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Diseases) patients: adult and pediatric gastroenterologists, advanced registered nurse practitioners and physician assistants, medical staff, dietician, surgeons, and pharmacists.

A Need Assessment ...
was initiated to identify current knowledge and clinical practice gaps in the care of IBD patients to meet the needs of healthcare providers in the Northwest, a region that three years ago was identified as being underserved with educational programs specific to IBD and became the springboard for IBDH®. The IBD Horizons team and prior speakers focused on areas encompassing disease severity assessment, prognostic factors, latest practice management guidelines, individualized therapy approach, optimization of the current IBD medical and surgical therapies across the disease severity spectrum (mild-to-severe), managing IBD through conception and pregnancy, promising treatments in late-stage development, and practical treatment risk assessment and prevention.
Course Objectives: Objectives:
1. Assess the benefits and limitations of personalized medicine in the context of managing patients with IBD.
2. List factors that should be evaluated in the selection of therapy for patients with Crohn's disease and how to align these with the patients' treatment goals.
3. List predictors of suboptimal response to medical therapies and describe approaches for monitoring and predicting treatment response in patients with CD.
4. Identify the most promising molecules in late-stage clinical development, with an emphasis on immunological targets and pharmacological properties.
5. Identify clinical gaps/controversies and apply evidence-based medical management of mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis to individualize patient care.
6. Incorporate evidence-based treatment strategies to optimize outcomes in patients with moderate-to-severe UC who are sub-optimally controlled and/or considered to be treatment failures.
7. Examine the current clinical practice of post-operative management of Crohn's disease and apply best practice medical management treatment strategies.
8. Apply the most recent evidence regarding family planning and the reproductive safety of IBD medications when counseling patients with IBD who are considering conception or who are pregnant.
