Satellite Symposia 2012 ACCP Annual Meeting ACCP is pleased to offer satellite symposia as a forum for the presentation of continuing pharmacy education programs developed by other accredited providers. The following programs are available for continuing pharmacy education credit, and admission is free to meeting registrants. Registration and Breakfast 6:30 a.m 7:00 a.m. Satellite Symposium 7:00 a.m 9:00 a.m. Location: Great Hall 2 Westin Diplomat Resort Monday, October 22 Targeting Hyponatremia: Reducing Risk, Improving Outcomes Program Overview: Hyponatremia one of the most common electrolyte disturbances encountered in clinical practice has a significant impact on both health systems and patients. Diagnosis can be challenging, since symptoms can be subtle and nonspecific. Management is complicated by the fact that traditional therapies are only moderately effective, are difficult for patients to comply with, and/or are associated with potential serious adverse effects. The recent introduction of new pharmacotherapeutic options targeting the underlying pathophysiology is beginning to change the paradigm for management of this condition. Clinical pharmacists, as expert consultants, play a pivotal role in patient monitoring and selection of the most appropriate therapeutic option based on cost and safety data as well as the cost of ineffective treatment. This 2-hour, case-enhanced symposium is designed to provide clinical pharmacists with a thorough understanding of the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and both short- and long-term management of this common condition. Learning Objectives: After completing this live, knowledge-based activity, participants should be better able to: Identify signs and symptoms of hyponatremia in hospitalized patients by understanding their underlying etiology; Examine the prevalence as well as the clinical and economic consequences of hyponatremia; and Evaluate the pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of conventional and newer agents for short- and long-term treatment.

Clinical pharmacists, as expert consultants, play a pivotal role in facilitating appropriate antibiotic use by ensuring selection of the agent, older or new, that is most likely to provide coverage for the most likely causative pathogen while minimizing development of resistance. This symposium is designed to increase participant knowledge of current clinical evidence, pertinent guidelines, and performance quality measures to help them ensure optimal management of patients with ABSSSI and CABP. Learning Objectives: After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: Describe current evidence-based approaches for management of ABSSSIs with or without MRSA, and the decision process used when selecting an appropriate antibiotic; Recognize current evidence-based approaches for management of CABP, including consensus recommendations for appropriate incorporation of newer antibiotics; and Discuss novel strategies for ensuring appropriate antibiotic use and for preserving antibiotic efficacy.

Despite the existence of validated consensus guidelines jointly published by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA), 25% of opportunities to provide guideline-recommended care are missed in current practice. The failure to adhere to these guidelines is associated with a significant increase in in-hospital mortality and the subsequent development of heart failure. Antiplatelet therapy is essential to the treatment of patients who have ACS, but mainstay antiplatelet options do not always provide an optimal response. This activity will provide pharmacists with the tools necessary to appropriately select and apply antiplatelet agents, and provide validated, guideline-directed care in ACS. Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this application-based activity, participants will be able to: Review the pathophysiology of ACS and identify the role of antiplatelet agents in the treatment of ACS, focusing on the concepts of importance of aspirin dose, variability of response, and the utility of monitoring of response to thienopyridines; Evaluate the risks and benefits of new and traditional treatment options, focusing on monotherapy and combination therapy, bleeding risks, aspirin-dose, drug interactions, and patient/prescriber education points;
Review guidelines related to the treatment of ACS and examine recommendation trends in recently released and updated guidelines; and Using a case-based approach, implement the role for newer antiplatelet therapies to improve patient outcomes in ACS.
