Background And Purpose: To describe the design of an ongoing anticoagulation certificate program and annual renewal update for pharmacists.
Educational Activity And Setting: Components of the anticoagulation certificate program include home study, pre- and posttest, live sessions, case discussions with evaluation and presentation, an implementation plan, and survey information (program evaluation and use in practice). Clinical reasoning skills were assessed through case work-up and evaluation prior to live presentation.
Objectives: To identify and address issues specific to elderly patients with diabetes, including goal setting, prevention of hypoglycemia,and product and device selection, and to summarize recommendations for the addition and dosing of insulin to treatment regimens and the appropriate continuance or discontinuance of oral medications in elderly patients taking insulin.
Data Sources: Live symposium presentation based on clinical practice and research, and literature and published studies on the treatment and management of diabetes.
Conclusions: Most patients with long-standing diabetes eventually will require insulin therapy of some sort.
