Autism Spectrum Disorder is the fastest growing developmental disability in the US and a growing number of these patients are being seen in our offices. Healthcare providers receive very little, if any, education on how to care for these patients in healthcare setting. This lack of education and training can result in an escalation of preventable behaviors during the office visits, resulting in a missed diagnosis, preventable injury, and poor treatment plans. The nurse practitioner will learn how to prevent and manage challenging behaviors with adjustments to the physical exam, exam room accommodations and sensory tools.

Communicating serious, upsetting or life-changing news to a patient may be one of the most difficult conversations a nurse practitioner (NP)will ever have. While it can be said that no person is truly ever "ready" or "comfortable" delivering this type of news, we can take steps to increase our self- awareness and learn how to communicate difficult or distressing news. The purpose of this presentation is to offer the NP practical guidance and tools for the difficult conversations each of us will likely have with a patient. The intended outcome is that the NP will gain self-confidence and practical tools that can be used in the sensitive and skillful delivery of bad or upsetting news.

Within the United States nearly 52 million, or 1 in 5 individuals experience mental illness, as well as another 19 million individuals with a diagnosis of substance use disorder. With a paucity of psychiatric specialists, nurse practitioners will be increasingly called upon to diagnose and treat a wide variety of mental health issues regardless of practice setting. In primary care, concerns related to mental health account for 20% of adult and over 30% of older adult office visits. The ability to provide an initial assessment of psychiatric symptoms is vital in gathering enough information to treat and/or triage and refer complex cases onto psychiatry. This presentation will provide an evidence-based approach that outlines the essential elements of psychiatric history taking, review of screening tools, discussion of common safety concerns specific to mental health, tips and tricks for psychiatric assessment and prescribing in a primary care setting.

Due to ongoing global disruptions (economic, climate, health), globalization, changing demography (generations, gender, race, migration patterns, etc.) there has been an increased focus on global inclusion, diversity, belonging, equity, and access (GIDBEA). Many leaders in healthcare and beyond find it challenging to navigate the emerging terrains; to develop the necessary strategies to achieve organizational goals; and also manage contestation while simultaneously engaging relevant opportunities to promote organizational resilience and sustainability. In this presentation, Dr. Lisa Coleman, New York University, SVP for Global Inclusion and Strategic Innovation, will discuss specific multimodal strategies that can be used to cultivate organizational and multi-sector innovations, assets and opportunities, nimbleness, equity, and future-readiness to be more prepared for ongoing and continuous disruptions.
By attending this presentation, audience members will gain a better understanding of Effective Leadership Strategies to address evolving GIDBEA trends (i.e., generational and gender shifts); The role of conflict and belonging in fostering innovation and inclusive leadership practices (how to convert cancel culture and protests to incubation); and Aligning data- and asset-based approaches with GIDBEA strategies.

The telemedicine (TM) transformation of 2020 profoundly changed patient care and providers around the world. Nearly overnight, providers faced the challenge of providing high quality care in the absence of traditional tools of diagnosis -- utilizing a tool they had never before received training or education to manage. More than one quarter of ambulatory visits will be delivered virtually moving forward. Research shows that providers are seeking opportunities to enable appropriate use of telemedicine, improving safety and quality for patient care. Existing TM clinical skills CME opportunities primarily address pre-pandemic populations; namely young, healthy patients with simple acute needs. I will present a practical and interactive approach utilizing best practices we have cultivated and studied at Johns Hopkins Medicine to improve the quality and generalizability of virtual care. I will orient providers of all skill levels to the unique strengths and limitations of telemedicine. I will present strategies for mitigating risk in the virtual space while delivering excellent care. Participants will leave the presentation with practical tools to enable full spectrum virtual ambulatory care.

Antimicrobial stewardship is a system-wide approach to promoting and overseeing the safe and judicious use of antimicrobials. These standards protect patients of all ages from harm caused by unnecessary antibiotic use and combat antibiotic resistance. However, their use is not universal and has diminished during the COVID pandemic. Nurse practitioners can play a significant role in increasing adherence to antibiotic standards in all healthcare settings, from the NICU to long term care, improving clinical outcomes.

Improving the clinician’s knowledge and skills in the management of the patient with acute and chronic pain, will help demystify and reduce the misconceptions associated with managing such a subjective and otherwise challenging diagnosis. Clinicians in ALL areas of practice are faced with the challenges of managing patients with pain, from the adolescent with a fracture that cannot be immobilized because of unmanaged severe pain, to the 81 y/o male with severe congestive cardiac failure who struggles with daily chest pain. Understanding the pathophysiology and mechanisms of pain, the current research and treatments, will empower clinicians in their knowledge and understanding, to provide their patients with evidenced based advice and treatment options. This timely seminar will focus on the importance of accurate assessment and multimodal management of both acute and chronic pain, through understanding of pain pathophysiology and mechanisms. Pain affects all aspects of healthcare, it is political, and in many ways mysterious. Over the course of this well-defined 3-hour seminar the audience will learn how to differentiate the types of pain, offer evidenced-based treatments, and be exposed to new innovative treatment approaches available today.

Prediabetes is an intermediate state between normal glucose regulation and Type 2 Diabetes. According to the CDC, 84.1 million Americans have prediabetes. The natural history of type 2 diabetes involves a progressive deterioration in many physiologic factors that can be seen several years before the diagnosis. Patients with prediabetes have an increased risk of both microvascular and macrovascular complications. Therefore, it is important for practitioners to understand and identify these factors and implement any appropriate treatment to prevent conversion to diabetes as well as prevention of cardiovascular risks. This presentation will explore prediabetes and identify the risks associated with the disease. It will discuss how to reduce the risk and any treatment options for 2022.

This presentation will review the foundation of HPV epidemiology and how it has driven changes in screening and risk-based cervical cancer prevention. The new American Cancer Society screening guidelines will be presented which support the role of primary (stand-alone) HPV testing as the initial screen in women with a cervix who do not have symptoms of cervical cancer, diagnosis of cervical cancer or pre-cancer, and do not have a health condition that weakens the immune system, such as solid organ transplant. The new ASCCP Risk-Based Management Guidelines for management of abnormal screening tests and cancer precursors will be presented which were developed from a panel of 19 participating organizations and have changed management from result based to risk based. There will be a discussion of the data that led to the new management guidelines and how to use both current results and past history to determine management by colposcopy, treatment or surveillance based on a patient’s risk of CIN3+ using the management algorithm. The presentation will also address the enduring nature of these guidelines as new technologies and tests can be added to the current app which will determine clinical action thresholds for patient management.

More than 13,000 Americans are diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma each year. While sarcoma represents roughly 1% new malignancies diagnosed in the United States annually, primary care and specialist providers should possess a general familiarity with the diagnostic and management considerations of the patient with a soft tissue tumor in the extremity. This case-based presentation will offer participants an overview of the various imaging modalities used to assess these tumors and the clinical features associated with many of the most common benign and malignant soft tissue tumors found in the extremities.
