Statement of Need

People with mild or moderate hemophilia may struggle to get prophylactic treatment because their disease severity classification does not always match their bleeding symptoms. Additionally, racial and ethnic minority groups with hemophilia often face systemic and socioeconomic circumstances that prevent them from accessing optimized care. It is important for healthcare providers to recognize the barriers to appropriate hemophilia treatment and take actionable steps to overcome institutional, social, economic, and other roadblocks so that all patients can benefit from advances in therapy.

In this 30-minute CME Snack video, experts in hemophilia explore new and emerging therapies that can improve outcomes for patients with hemophilia. A case study presentation provides additional clinical perspective and offers ways to provide equitable treatment in underserved patient groups.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:

  • Provide equitable care for all patients with hemophilia, including those from underserved communities and those who do not meet formal severity thresholds for prophylaxis, yet experience significant bleeds

Financial Support

Supported by an educational grant from Novo Nordisk, Inc.

Target Audience

Hematologists, hematologist/oncologists, physician associates (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), nurses and pharmacists
