Available for 1.50 hours of CPE creditActivity Number: 0217-0000-25-148-L01-PActivity Type: A Knowledge-Based ActivityThis session will discuss the management of solid organ transplant recipients and patients with chronic kidney disease across a continuum of care throughout various types of transitions. The field of transplantation has seen considerable growth, and the role of the pharmacist in the continuum of a transplant patient’s care has evolved significantly. These transitions require supportive, collaborative care, and pharmacists have unique opportunities to play an important role, which sparks the need to examine the optimal management of pharmacotherapy. Transitions discussed will include dialysis-to-transplant and transplant-to-dialysis patient care, age-based transitions in pediatric cases, and transitions between healthcare settings. Learners have the opportunity to engage with presenters through polling and assessment questions, discussion, and application exercises.
Learning Objectives1. Describe the pharmacist’s role in transitioning a patient to and from dialysis.
2. Outline a transition plan for the dialysis patient transitioning to transplant and the transplant patient transitioning to dialysis.
3. Discuss the pharmacist’s role in age-based transition of a pediatric transplant recipient.
4. Outline a transition plan for the transplant patient from pediatric to adult care.
5. Describe the importance of accurate reconciliation in solid organ transplant recipients.
6. Define the role of the pharmacist in the transition of transplant recipients between healthcare settings.
