Article Synopsis
- Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic genetic disorder with limited access to effective clinical care, prompting the implementation of Project ECHO, a telementoring model, by the STORM provider network to educate healthcare providers on SCD management.
- Annual evaluations showed that providers who participated in Project ECHO reported significant improvements in their confidence regarding SCD care, including identifying and prescribing disease-modifying therapies.
- Qualitative interviews revealed multiple benefits of Project ECHO, such as increased provider confidence, access to integrated care best practices, connections to a professional network, high-quality educational resources, and enhanced collaboration among participants.
Article Synopsis
- Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients, particularly among the African descent population, face higher risks related to COVID-19, highlighting the need for effective vaccination uptake.
- A study explored vaccine attitudes and intentions among 200 adolescents, young adults, and caregivers of children with SCD, revealing that a significant portion intended to get vaccinated, with safety perceptions being a crucial factor.
- The findings emphasize the importance of tailored education and messaging strategies for improving COVID-19 vaccine acceptance within the SCD community.
Purpose: Healthcare providers faced numerous knowledge gaps and challenges with adapting practice behaviors in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, an established virtual sickle cell disease (SCD) telementoring program rapidly expanded from monthly evidence-based didactic sessions focused on medical and psychosocial complications of sickle cell disease, to additional supplemental COVID-19 sessions with emerging pandemic topics and forums for shared experiences to address this timely educational need among multidisciplinary healthcare providers.
Methods: In March 2020, the COVID-19 and Sickle Cell Disease Project ECHO telementoring series was launched with a rapidly evolving curriculum of contemporary topics and case presentations.
