PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Missed opportunities, new challenges, a growing threat. Compared to 2014, cases of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection increased 20.7% in 2015, fueled by the opioid epidemic which accounted for 59.4% of cases. 1,000 babies are infected each year through mother-to-child transmission. Barriers to vaccination, screening, and treatment - from providers and patients - can be broken down by best practice strategies driven by data. Is HBV a game? No, but that doesn't mean learning best practices strategies can't be. Join our expert faculty for this interactive CME Outfitters recorded symposium with its goal of improving confidence to make practice changes that will result in improved screening, evaluation, treatment, and monitoring of individuals infected with chronic HBV. Test your knowledge of HBV along the way and see how you answer compared to the live audience from this symposium.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:Physicians/PAsIn at-risk populations, document that appropriate patients have been screened for HBV in alignment with the best practice advice of the new ACP clinical guidelinesInitiate antiviral therapy in patients with immune-active chronic hepatitis B (CHB) aligned to AASLD and EASL recommendationsEstablish regular monitoring protocols for patients with CHB infection to prevent reactivation and surveil for HCCCNE/CPEDescribe ACP clinical guidelines for screening appropriate at-risk patient populations for HBV and how to properly documentSummarize antiviral therapy for patients with immune-active chronic hepatitis B (CHB) aligned to AASLD and EASL recommendationsExplain regular monitoring protocols for patients with CHB infection to prevent reactivation and surveil for HCC
