Prophylactic management of hemophilia continues to be a challenge. This nurse-led activity discusses treatment strategies, safety and efficacy of current available products, and how to improve patient adherence. In this clinical commentary, expert faculty, Kerry H. Hansen, RN, BS and Skye Peltier, MPH, PA-C review best practices to facilitate successful therapeutic interventions with hemophilia A prophylaxis.
This educational activity is designed for advanced practice nurses (APRN) including nurses and nurse practitioners (NP), physicians, and other clinicians in a hematology setting treating patients with hemophilia A.
Nurses’ and nurse practitioners’ training and function in the healthcare environment is unique from that of physicians and other healthcare professionals. Therefore, they require specialized continuing education programming that is applicable to their specific practice, serves to strengthen their clinical knowledge base, and gives them skills that they can apply in daily practice related to hemophilia A care. An innovative CE strategy targeting nurses and APRNs is an ideal way to support these clinicians in gaining knowledge that can be applied in everyday practice. This in turn, allows nurses and APRNs to provide the best care and optimize outcomes for people with hemophilia A.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Describe strategies for developing an individualized plan for hemophilia A prophylaxis
• Demonstrate knowledge of extended half-life and non-factor products for hemophilia A prophylaxis
• Explain strategies to improve and reinforce adherence in patients prescribed hemophilia A prophylaxis
• Describe strategies for developing an individualized plan for hemophilia A prophylaxis
• Demonstrate knowledge of extended half-life and non-factor products for hemophilia A prophylaxis
• Explain strategies to improve and reinforce adherence in patients prescribed hemophilia A prophylaxis
This activity is sponsored by the Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL) and Purdue University College of Pharmacy.

Recommendations involving clinical medicine in a continuing medical education (CME/CE) activity must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in CME/CE in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, and analysis.
This CME/CE activity might describe the off-label, investigational, or experimental use of medications that may exceed their FDA-approved labeling. Physicians should consult the current manufacturers’ prescribing information for these products. ACHL requires the speaker to disclose that a product is not labeled for the use under discussion.
This activity will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. To receive credit, participants are required to complete the pretest, view the online activity and complete the posttest and evaluation. To receive credit, 66% must be achieved on the posttest. A certificate will be immediately available. There is no fee to participate in the activity or for the generation of the certificate.
