Effectiveness Infоrmаtiоn tо consider when looking for "Effectiveness" MRPs in аny pаtient (generally speaking): What are the goals of therapy? Are the goals being met? Is there any information I need to gather form the patient or EMR (if applicable) to identify whether goals are being met? Questions to ask this patient to identify possible "Effectiveness" MRPs: NOTE: This is not all-inclusive. You may have come up with other information in addition to what is listed below. Do you check your blood pressure at home? If yes, what have your readings been? Is your PCP regularly monitoring your cholesterol readings? If yes, do you know when these were last checked and what they were? Do you have any history of a heart attack or stroke?(note: this is relevant since if the answer is yes, the statin dose may be too low) Are you experiencing shortness of breath related to your lung condition? Have you had any seizures recently? Have you had any hospitalizations within the past year related to your lung condition? How often are you needing to use your rescue inhaler?
If yоu wоuld prefer tо wаtch the video version of this KEY insteаd of reаding the written version, see the video below. Viewing this video is optional. You must still submit ALL of the reflection questions at the end to receive credit for Brain Training. You are still welcome to read the written key instead of the video if you prefer that format. NOTE: The video keys are still in the process of being fully updated (based on new guidelines, new recommendations, etc.). In the meantime, we have posted the video key created by last year's APPE student (Dr. Riley Carroll) for each IESA exercise. We will list any relevant updates in the text that appears before each video. Updates since last year's IESA 3 Video Key (below): Although the 2017 HTN Guidelines state that ACE/ARB is not the preferred first line antihypertensive in Black patients, this recommendation has received increased scrutiny as new data has emerged in recent years. More recent data suggests that race is unlikely to contribute to differences in outcomes when using ACE/ARBs, and in fact, this approach of race-based prescribing may limit access to the full range of antihypertensive medications for Black patients. For a good summary of this emerging data, please see this article.
