Workup & Treatment of Autoimmune Joint Pain & Rash

Philip Eskew, DO, JD, MBA
(1.0 CME)

This session will cover the following:
  1. When should a practitioner’s “autoimmune antenna” go up? Which chief complaints or unexplained lab findings warrant an autoimmune workup? How many tests should be ordered and when should they be stopped (in the likely event a clear answer has not been found)?
  2. Why do all my patients appear to obsess over every rash? Is it related to their diet, their stress, etc.
  3. Autoimmune medications – Which medications should be attempted first? What are the most common risks and complications with these medications?

3:45pm – 4:45pm EST

A DPC Medicare Pilot in Ten Codes or Less

Philip Eskew, DO, JD, MBA
(1.0 CME)

Managing Clinical Risks

Kayur Patel, MD, FACP, FACPE, FACHE, FACEP
(0.5 CME)

The threat of litigation following a misdiagnosis or improper treatment in high-risk medical conditions presents a challenge to healthcare providers.
In a continuously moving healthcare industry, with the pendulum swinging or the dynamics changing, we are in a constant flux of information that we can use, misuse, overuse or underuse; and by better understanding where our risks lie, we may be able to unfold some of these risks before they actually occur, delivering high-quality care. No time is better than today to use a multidisciplinary approach to risk management.
}

5:15pm – 6:15pm EST

For Employers Seeking Tax Favored DPC Vehicles Look to (EB)HRAs and telemedicine for HSAs

Philip Eskew, DO, JD, MBA
(1.0 CME)

The telemedicine HSA changes enacted with the CARES Act in March 2020 and The HRA reforms that were enacted as of January 1, 2020 have DPC physicians and employers asking more questions than ever.
This talk reviews the new broad HSA exception for telemedicine purposes, the differences between the old traditional health reimbursement accounts (HRAs), Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Accounts (QSEHRAs), Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Accounts (ICHRAs) and Excepted Benefit Health Reimbursement Accounts (EBHRAs). Attendees will have a better idea of where each type of HRA is most likely to be used and how these new regulations interplay with the tax treatment of direct primary care when sponsored by an employer.

Day 2 – Sunday: May 3rd

08:30am – 09:30am EST

Office-based Buprenorphine Therapy for Opioid Dependence: Medication Assisted Treatment

Michael Steelman, DO

This presentation will identify Addiction as a chronic disease, review the basic requirements to implement a MAT program, review diagnoses and treatment, and explore various patient types. Resources will also be identified to support continued growth in knowledge and skill.

  2. What do the OSHA blood born pathogen standards mean for me? What if a patient presents to the clinic complaining about a hazardous chemical exposure? When do CLIA rules apply?
  3. Who may dispense medications in my state? The patient wants me to just mail the medications to his house instead – is this ok?
}

1:30pm – 2:15pm EST

Prostate Cancer Screening Update

Richard Kosierowski, MD
(0.75 CME)

Prostate cancer is a common malignancy in American males.
There is limited data to suggest that early diagnosis/treatment results in a survival benefit. The role and methods of PSA screening will be reviewed as well as what to do with an elevated PSA. Patient options in terms of molecular and germline testing will be reviewed.

Therapy options for prostate cancer include active surveillance, surgery or radiation therapy. The pro’s and cons of each option will be reviewed. After definitive therapy, patients will need lifelong surveillance to detect PSA relapse. The natural history of prostate cancer will be reviewed.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Identify the ideal patients for early detection
  2. Risk stratify patients to order to identify patient who need additional testing
  3. Review therapy options and side effects of therapy
  4. Understand the significance of PSA relapse

2:20pm – 3:15pm EST

Immunotherapy and Target-Directed Cancer Care

Richard Kosierowski, MD
(0.75 CME)

Cancer therapy has changed markedly over the last decade.
Traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy has been supplemented by the addition of precise immune oncology agents. Agents such as immune checkpoint inhibitors serve to ramp up the body’s native immune system to directly attack cancer cells. The results of the human genome project has led to innovations in DNA sequence technology has led to specific target directed treatments that focus on individual DNA mutations. Advances in monoclonal antibody technology has led to disease specific targeted therapy.

The era of precision medicine has led to overall improvements in patient outcomes. The transition from conventional chemotherapy based cancer treatment to targeted precision anti cancer therapy has numerous implications for the correctional primary care provider. Traditional cytotoxic complications such as neutropenic fever have been replaced by toxicities caused by immune hepatitis and pneumonitis immune system hyperactivity leading to an altered toxicity profile

Technology is not cheap, and the value of current cancer therapy must be defined

Educational Objectives:

  1. Understand the role of the immune system and check point inhibitors in cancer care
  2. Understand role of monoclonal antibodies in cancer care
  3. Outline the role of small molecules in targeting cellular pathways
  4. Differentiate between “ground shot” and” moon shot” cancer research

Politics of Healthcare

Kendrick Johhnson, DO
Jeremy Schupbach
(0.5 CME)

This session will focus upon the national debate over public plans, the effect of political decisions on the practice of medicine (debates over vaccines and stockpiles for PPE), and what this means for practicing clinicians – how to prepare and respond when you’re not in control.
}

3:50pm – 4:20pm EST

LeadNow!

Kayur Patel, MD, FACP, FACPE, FACEP, FACHE
(0.5 CME)

US per capita healthcare cost is approximately $8,713, spending $3 trillion, or 18% of the national economy.
We have the most expensive system in the world, yet it fails us when it comes to quality outcomes. When one thinks of reducing costs – we assume that quality of care will suffer, and that the changes will lead to more medical errors, but often we can simply cut back on unnecessary and inappropriate services.
