Webinar Date: 6/12/2024
Estimated Time to complete: 1 hour
Format: Archived Case Conversation (Journal Club)
Target Audience: 
This activity is designed for healthcare professionals, including hematologists, obstetricians, gynecologists, pediatric/adolescent gynecologists, advanced practice providers, and nurses specializing in the care of women/girls are the primary target audience to ensure optimal comprehensive care.

Program Description:
During this conversation, the authors will share the development of a von Willebrand Factor (VWF) prediction model for adolescent females based on initial VWF results.

This case conversation will address the following learning objectives:

1. Discuss the development of a predictive model for diagnosis of von Willebrand Disease in adolescent females.
2. Compare the differences in patient outcomes when intake is performed at outpatient clinics versus acute care.
3. Interpret the findings of the predictive model for von Willebrand Factor to ultimately and accurately diagnose von Willebrand Disease.
