2016 NCCN Oncology Case Manager and Medical Director Program™ - Practical Considerations in the Long-Term Management of Patients with CML
The 2016 NCCN Case Manager and Medical Director Program Live Webinar Series will consist of six webinars on the topics of colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, distress management, CML, ovarian cancer, and multiple myeloma. This educational series is designed to help case managers and medical directors manage patients with cancer based on evidence and according to the recommendations in the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®).
Target Audience
This program is designed to meet the educational needs of case managers, nurses in other roles (i.e., quality management and utilization review), medical directors at managed care organizations, reinsurers, TPAs, and case management and disease management companies who interact with, counsel, and refer patients with cancer to appropriate sources of care and/or make coverage decisions. Programs may also be of interest to nurses, nurse navigators/care coordinators, and physicians who work directly with patients in clinical settings as well as clinical pharmacists in managed care organizations and other settings.
Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants should be able to:
- Provide optimal long-term care for patients with CML, based on the understanding of key clinical aspects of CML management
- Construct an effective supportive care plan to monitor and manage potential side effects, evaluate drug interactions, educate patients about the importance of taking TKIs as prescribed and reporting side effects
- Monitor response to TKI therapy and identify patients who would benefit from alternative treatment options

The ACCME/ANCC/ACPE defines “conflict of interest” as when an individual has an opportunity to affect CE content about products or services of a commercial interest with which he/she has a financial relationship.
ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC focuses on financial relationships with commercial interests in the 12-month period preceding the time that the individual is being asked to assume a role controlling content of the CE activity. ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC have not set a minimal dollar amount for relationships to be significant. Inherent in any amount is the incentive to maintain or increase the value of the relationship. The ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC defines “’relevant’ financial relationships” as financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that create a conflict of interest.
All faculty for this continuing education activity are competent in the subject matter and qualified by experience, training, and/or preparation to the tasks and methods of delivery.
