PROGRAM OVERVIEW
|
Bleeding disorders affect more than three million Americans by preventing the blood from clotting normally, potentially leading to prolonged bleeding after injury, surgery, and physical trauma. VWD is the most common bleeding disorder in the United States, although estimates of disease incidence vary significantly. As many as 2 in 100 individuals may be affected by VWD, with a similar frequency in both males and females; however, heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) associated with this particular type of bleeding disorder make it more problematic in women. Considering the diverse physical and psychosocial complications associated with VWD, expert disease management is best delivered via the integrated care model implemented by hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs). This model deploys a multidisciplinary team of health care providers to address virtually every facet of care for patients with bleeding disorders.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to demonstrate improved ability to:
- Describe the pathophysiology and epidemiology of VWD
- Identify the signs and symptoms of VWD as well as evidence-based assessment methodologies for the timely and accurate diagnosis of VWD
- Review available VWD treatment strategies appropriate to disease subtype/severity
- Evaluate benefit design strategies and coverage criteria that facilitate timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and overall cost management of VWD
