A Field Guide to Transplant and Transplant ID Management for the Generalist
Presented by YoungYoon Ham & Danielle Boschetto
Transplant and ID team up to tackle some of the most common issues (that we've been asked about and others that we just wanted to talk about but have never actually been asked) that come up when dealing with transplant patient. Transplant recipients may experience a variety of complications, related and unrelated to transplant, for which they require hospitalization. In this presentation we aim to address how best to approach a transplant patient, before and after transplant, and provide guidance on how their care may differ from that of the general population.

Keep Patients Safer with an Opioid Taper
Presented by Mindee Dewitt & Darlene Marsh
The benefits and risks of chronic opioid therapy should be regularly reevaluated, and tapering should be considered when appropriate. Pharmacists are in a unique position to provide safety education, opioid taper recommendations, and additional support to clinicians to promote patient success in tapering down or off prescription opioids. This session will focus on when to recommend an opioid taper, how to manage opioid withdrawal and strategies to support both clinicians and patients on maximizing safer opioid prescribing and pain management strategies.

Presented by Marketa Marvanova
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) remains a significant challenge in clinical practice, affecting approximately 30% of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). While there is no single universally accepted definition of TRD, the most commonly used and FDA-accepted definition describes it as MDD that does not achieve an adequate response despite at least two trials of antidepressants from different classes, administered at the appropriate dose and duration. Many patients with TRD struggle to achieve full remission despite multiple therapeutic trials, leading to a substantial burden on quality of life, increased healthcare costs, and heightened suicide risk. This session aims to equip attendees with a comprehensive understanding of TRD, identify and address factors contributing to pseudoresistance in depression treatment, overcome common barriers to effective therapy, and explore evidence-based pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic strategies and approaches to optimize treatment and support the management of TRD.

Mapping Cause Analysis: Who, What, How, and Why
Presented by Katie Hufft
After a medication error occurs, we commonly hear the questions ‘how did this happen’ and ‘what can we do to prevent this from happening again.’ Knowing how to answer these questions is essential to reducing risk for future error. This Medication Safety presentation will provide a road map to the immediate next steps after a medication error occurs. This will include an overview of cause analysis, which is a methodical process used to identify systemic risks that contribute to safety events. We will breakdown the elements of a causal statement, identify several tools used to uncover root causes, and demonstrate how cause analysis can inform action planning to improve medication safety.
