Despite advances in the treatment and management of dermatologic conditions such as psoriasis, significant disparities in both treatment and outcomes persist for patients from racial/ethnic underserved groups. Patients of color are not only more likely to present with more severe disease, but they are also more likely to receive either no treatment, or only topical treatments, despite wide availability of effective biologic medications. In fact, Black patients with moderate to severe psoriasis are 70% less likely to receive biologic treatment than their White counterparts. It is imperative that each member of the multidisciplinary care team works together to address these disparities in order to improve equity in treatment and outcomes for all patients.
In this CMEO BriefCase, expert faculty will utilize case-based learning to illustrate these pervasive disparities through the stories of two patients, Miguel and LaToya, while offering strategies to integrate therapies that optimize long-term outcomes and address racial/ethnic inequities in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with psoriasis.

When implementing anticoagulants to prevent thrombotic events (eg, stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis) in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and/or venous thromboembolism (VTE), it is critical to balance efficacy with bleeding risk. For patients who require anticoagulation and also have renal impairment, careful risk assessment is important. Not all bleeding risk calculators include renal considerations. This tool provides those that do, with links to both online and mobile app versions.
Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) have come of age and are proving to be an efficacious and convenient means to provide anticoagulation for many patients with NVAF and/or VTE. However, striking the right balance between anticoagulation and bleeding risk is paramount, especially for patients with chronic kidney disease.

Though the overall prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) is estimated to be largely equivalent across racial/ethnic groups, there is a significant disparity in the rate of diagnosis of MDD for many racial/ethnic underserved communities, including Black and Hispanic groups. In addition, amongst those from these communities who do receive a diagnosis, treatment offerings are often limited, with antidepressant therapy as well as psychotherapy offered at lower rates as compared to their non-Hispanic White counterparts. Social determinants / drivers of health play an additional role in these disparate outcomes, as negative drivers of health have been associated with progression to treatment resistant depression (TRD). It is imperative that each member of the multidisciplinary care team works together to address these disparities in order to improve equity in treatment and outcomes for all patients.
In this CMEO BriefCase, expert faculty will utilize case-based learning to illustrate these pervasive disparities through the stories of two patients, Luna and Eralia, while offering strategies to address inequities in the treatment and outcomes of patients with MDD and/or TRD.

Despite advances in the treatment and management of cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension and atrial fibrillation, significant disparities in both treatment and outcomes for patients from racial/ethnic underserved groups remain. In fact, race-based medicine, including prescribing specific treatments dependent on a patient’s race/ethnicity, is often still employed in clinical encounters in spite of a complete lack of evidence to support these outdated practices. As a result, preexisting racial/ethnic disparities in the diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions are only exacerbated by differential treatment, resulting in greater disparities in patient outcomes. It is imperative that each member of the multidisciplinary care team works together to address these disparities in order to improve equity in treatment and outcomes for all patients.
In this CMEO BriefCase, expert faculty will utilize case-based learning to illustrate these pervasive disparities through the stories of two patients, Francisco and Samantha, while offering strategies to address inequities in the treatment and outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation and complex cardiovascular disease.
Multiple clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of endometrial cancer (EC) recommend consideration of molecular testing, particularly for high-grade tumors. Yet despite its prognostic value, molecular classification is not always a part of standard risk assessment in EC. Clinical uptake has been highly variable, particularly in limited-resource areas, even though recent data shows molecular classification has value in therapeutic decision-making and is prognostic for treatment response in EC. Lack of clinical uptake has resulted in overtreatment of some EC patients and undertreatment of others.

The impact of disparities in vision care is widespread—from lower test scores in school children to macular degeneration in the aging population. Gaps in early diagnosis, treatment options and access, preservation of eyesight, and more, remain for racial and ethnic underserved populations. A culmination of biases, disparities, and inequities continues a cycle of inadequate optometric and ophthalmological care, thus resulting in delayed diagnosis and suboptimal clinical management and prognosis.

One size does not fit all in ILD. To achieve the best quality of care and patient outcomes, clinicians need to assess key factors that impact each individual patient’s ability to access and adhere to recommended lifestyle and therapeutic interventions. Such factors — collectively known as “social determinants of health” include health care access and quality, neighborhood and built environment, social and community context, economic stability, and education access and quality. This clinician tool includes definitions and a questionnaire to facilitate patient interviewing about these important considerations.
Shared decision making (SDM) is a key component of patient-centered health care. The SHARE Approach is a five-step process for SDM that provides a framework for exploring the benefits and risks of various therapies and interventions. This top-line reference includes the SHARE acronym and related “conversation starters” to facilitate SDM with patients. On the flip side of the document is a visual reminder of the team approach to ILD care, indicating roles and responsibilities of the various disciplines, that when working together, can lead to improved quality of care and patient outcomes.
