CME Outfitters Announces Live neuroscienceCME TV Broadcast: "The Impact of Adherence on Maintenance Treatment in Schizophrenia" Premieres Wednesday, A

Rockville, MD (PRWEB) July 7, 2008 -- CME Outfitters, LLC, an independent accredited provider of multidisciplinary medical education programming and related healthcare communications services, is pleased to announce an upcoming live and interactive evidence-based neuroscienceCME TV activity titled "The Impact of Adherence on Maintenance Treatment in Schizophrenia."

Premiering Wednesday, August 6, 2008, from 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. ET, the activity will describe the importance of remission and recovery as treatment goals in patients with schizophrenia, and review strategies for optimizing outcomes by employing techniques to improve patient adherence to maintenance pharmacotherapy. This activity also includes a special "After the Show" segment during which the faculty answers additional audience questions in an informal Q&A session. The recorded satellite broadcast will re-air from 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. ET. This CE activity will also be available as an archived webcast, podcast, and telephone audioconference shortly after the broadcast premiere, and available as a multimedia CD-ROM in September 2008.

Statement of Need:

Shared decision-making is a vital part of developing a maintenance treatment plan to support remission and long-term functional recovery in patients with schizophrenia. A vital part of this process is the discussion of various medications with respect to safety, side effects, and complexity of regimen. The impact of maintenance pharmacotherapy is often limited due to poor medication adherence and treatment strategies that maximize adherence can improve outcomes. In this patient population, rates of medication nonadherence range from 40-55% and may be even higher in patients with more pronounced deficits, more severe symptoms, higher rates of relapse, and relatively little social support. Evidence-based strategies exist for facilitating adherence; consideration of issues related to adherence during treatment decisionmaking has the potential to reduce relapse and improve outcomes. In this neuroscienceCME TV activity, experts will review the importance of medication adherence to remission and recovery, and will discuss strategies to translate evidence into improved long-term outcomes for their patients.
