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 need guidance in understanding how new findings describing CFTR-modifying therapies may improve their treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis. |
| • |
Incomplete clinician awareness of genotype/phenotype correlations in non-pulmonary targets of CFTR-modifying therapies may limit their ability to provide optimal patient care. |
| Nutrition |
| • |
Clinicians lack effective guidance to increase caloric intake in patients who are nutritionally compromised. |
| • |
Clinicians do not fully understand how to manage the complexities of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy to achieve optimal results in their patients. |
| Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
| • |
Clinicians have unanswered questions about P. aeruginosa eradication in asymptomatic patients with positive cultures. |
| • |
New data and new choices for selecting initial inhaled anti-pseudomonal agents have created confusion. |
| • |
Conflicting data about pulmonary exacerbations has led to incorrect clinical assumptions and inappropriate treatment regimens. |
