STATEMENT OF NEED
Based on a review of the current literature, including national and regional measures, detailed conversations with expert educators at Johns Hopkins, and a survey of potential program participants, this program will address the following core patient care gaps:
Disease-Modifying Therapies
 |
Clinicians may be unfamiliar with recently introduced disease-modifying therapies and how they are altering the therapeutic landscape for patients with cystic fibrosis. |
 |
|
Clinicians may be uncertain how to integrate genotyping into therapeutic decisions and how to communicate with patients and families about the relationship between genotype and therapy |
Nutrition
|
Many clinicians lack strategies to persuade patients to adhere to CF nutritional requirements, resulting in low body weight and nutritional failure in patients with cystic fibrosis. |
|
|
Many clinicians remain uncertain how to optimize pancreatic function in patients with cystic fibrosis. |
Treating CF Patients with Inhaled Antibiotics
|
Clinicians lack knowledge about the use of existing and emerging inhaled ABX to treat chronic pulmonary infections. |
|
|
Clinicians need more information to make informed decisions about the use of inhaled ABX in combination. |
|
|
Clinicians lack information about best practices for scheduling ABX therapy to suppress chronic airway infections. |
|
|
Common clinician assumptions about treating pulmonary exacerbations lack supporting evidence. |
|
|
CF clinicians are not aware of and/or are not actively advocating inhaled ABX patient-adherence strategies. |
