Sickle Cell Anemia progress
Over the last two years UM UCH has been meeting with Rudy Williams, President of the Sickle Cell Association, Harford/Cecil Counties and members of the Harford County Caucus, African-American Leaders to improve care of the sickle cell patient. We have developed sickle cell evidenced-base care protocols, primarily focusing on improving pain management. Protocol has been in place for about 1 year and Mr. Williams has reported improvements in care in our Emergency Departments. Currently we are focusing on educating our hospitalists on use of standard order set when patient is admitted. Additional quarterly meetings scheduled to continue to monitor care and further health care team education.
