SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Closing the Gap: Rapid Testing for Syphilis\, HIV & HCV in Correctional Settings
DESCRIPTION:Correctional settings present a critical opportunity for public health intervention\, especially given the high prevalence and co-infection rates of syphilis\, HIV\, and HCV among justice-involved populations. This webinar will explore the benefits of implementing rapid point-of-care testing in jails and other short-term facilities\, including timely diagnosis\, immediate linkage to care\, and reduced disease transmission. Attendees will review the public health implications of missed testing opportunities and learn how POC testing supports both individual and community health. The session will also highlight practical strategies and available resources for launching rapid testing programs\, as well as the importance of collaboration among correctional health care providers\, facility staff\, and community partners to ensure successful implementation and follow-up. \n$0 fee – registration required. Registration includes access to the PPT slide presentation\, webinar recording\, and CE credit – 1.00 hour for ACCME\, ANCC\, APA\, CCHP\, and general certificates. \nMade possible by an educational grant from OraSure Technologies\, Inc. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Webinar: Raising the Bar: Improving Safety and Efficacy of Pharmacotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Providing quality medical care is a top priority in both community and correctional settings. However\, in correctional environments\, this goal is often complicated by frequent patient transfers between facilities\, challenges with medication adherence\, and the use of high-risk medications. This presentation will explore common scenarios related to transitions of care\, medication safety\, and adherence issues within the correctional system. Using real-world examples and patient case studies\, we will highlight practical strategies to improve continuity of care and reduce medication-related risks in this complex and dynamic setting. \nPresenter: \nDr. Chris Bender\, PharmD\, is a clinical pharmacist at Diamond Pharmacy\, certified in ambulatory care pharmacy. He provides consultation and educational services to long-term care and correctional customers through Diamond Pharmacy’s Office of Pharmacy Therapeutics and Integrated Clinical Services. He also provides chronic care clinic consultation\, provides formulary management\, and formulates cost-effective treatment strategies\, as well as compiling and disseminating clinical information to providers\, nurses\, and staff. \n1.00 hours of CE for ACCME\, ANCC\, APA\, and general. \n$69 ($59 for CCHPs)\, includes access to the power point presentation\, the webinar recording and CE credit \nLearn more/Register
