Many clinicians are unable to properly assess quality of life and disability in their MS patients because of the current lack of clinical guidelines and quality measures. As newer treatments are tested and introduced for MS symptom management, practitioners need education about patient selection, proper use, safety, and the manner in which these treatments may complement or interact with existing therapies such as DMDs. This highly interactive, online activity is designed for neurologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals interested in symptom management of MS. The activity will present a series of non-linear cases addressing treatment of symptomatic issues in patients with MS, and will improve participants clinical practice through problem-based learning, linked with relevant and associated didactic content.

As diabetes now affects 9% of the US population, it is clear that primary care clinicians urgently need to develop additional competence and confidence in implementing the latest guidelines for individualized T2DM glycemic control, and in incorporating chronic disease management and other patient-centered concepts, strategies and delivery models in their practice to help their T2DM patient population overcome the documented barriers to effective disease management. Upon completion of this program participants will be able to plan, monitor and discuss T2DM therapeutic interventions based on individual patient characteristics including disease duration, life expectancy, comorbidities, attitude and other considerations in accordance with consensus guidelines for glycemic control.

This initiative enabled 10 hospitals that relied on sliding scale insulin with the development and implementation of better strategies for achieving glycemic control in the hospital through a structured quality improvement activity. The Annenberg Center assembled a group of experienced clinical experts who led efforts to improve glycemic control within their own institutions and have served as mentors to those leading improvements in these organizations. This faculty group includes endocrinologists, hospitalists, and nurses specializing in inpatient diabetes care. Two experts did onsite visits with each hospital from Oct. 18, 2010 through April 4, 2011. Organizational progress was recorded during 3 webinars that took place through March, 2012. Since the program has concluded, the faculty and Annenberg Center staff is preparing an article for submission to the peer-reviewed literature on the results of this pilot intervention.

Non-adherence to drug therapy is one of the most common reasons for returning to the hospital for patients suffering from acute coronary syndromes. The Annenberg Center is working with Eisenhower Medical Center on a performance improvement activity to address long-term medication use in patients who have undergone procedures in the cardiac cath lab. We will compare our usual practices with an enhanced follow-up method to see if it produces greater adherence to guideline-supported medications
