Forward17244: Partnering to Prevent Falls In NOH, POTS and Syncope (Wednesday, November 1, 2017)
This workshop will educate generalist health care practitioners about how to develop and utilize partnerships - with a care team, with specialists, most importantly with their patients – to successfully manage clinical issues involving the autonomic functions. This workshop will review how these partnerships foster very practical management of orthostatic disorders like Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension (NOH), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Syncope, as well as Falls, Headache, and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. Collectively, these disorders impact millions of Americans. Since current training prepares us poorly to care for these patients, they sometimes see 10 or more specialists who may not appreciate that other symptoms outside their area reflect a single overarching disorder, and therefore cannot formulate a reasonable diagnosis and management plan. This workshop will highlight the protean manifestations of autonomic disorders in multiple end-organs, and teach practitioners this practical management based on a logical approach that fosters these partnerships. Particular attention will be devoted to multiple system atrophy (MSA) which illustrates how most of the end-organs can be affected.
In addition, we would like to mention a new MCW Functional Disorders education program support practitioners with this challenging and ever-growing population. This program leverages resources unique to MCW. Drs. Tom & Gisela Chelimsky will partner with you and help you to partner with your own patients to efficiently provide them with the skills necessary to return to normal life. The funds available to MCW from the “Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment” will allow all CME charges to be waived at this time. Enrollment in this program will entitle you to open email access to the faculty for prompt clinical advice, and early appointments for your referrals to the Autonomic Disorders Clinic.
