Available for 1.50 hours of CPE creditActivity Number: 0217-0000-25-135-L01-PActivity Type: An Application-Based ActivityThe ED is a complex environment where diverse patient populations present unique challenges. Pharmacists in these settings must be equipped with specialized knowledge and skills to manage acute crises effectively while considering the individual needs and vulnerabilities of specific populations. This session brings together experts in the field to address the pharmacotherapy management of two critical and often underrepresented groups: sickle cell patients and transgender individuals. By the end of this session, participants will have actionable insights into optimizing care strategies tailored to these populations, ultimately improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Learning Objectives1. Apply evidence-based protocols to assess the unique pharmacologic needs of sickle cell patients in the emergency department.
2. Evaluate medication regimens for acute crises in sickle cell patients to ensure guideline adherence in the emergency department.
3. Create an individualized pharmacotherapy plan addressing sickle cell patients, which reduces polypharmacy risks, optimizes medication efficacy, and minimizes adverse events in an emergency setting.
4. Apply evidence-based protocols and evaluate medication regimens for transgender patients in the emergency department.
5. Apply culturally competent communication and affirming care principles when engaging with transgender patients' patient identity and preferences.
6. Create an individualized pharmacotherapy plan addressing the unique needs of transgender patients in an emergency setting.
