Treatment Decision Making and Achieving Therapeutic Goals in Multiple Sclerosis: Individual and Systems-Level Advances: Evaluation and Management of Suboptimal Treatment Response

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Since the advent of the first treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis more than 2 decades ago, considerable changes have altered management approaches. In recent decades, the goals of treatment for MS have generally shifted from reducing the frequency and severity of relapses and delaying progression to preventing new or enhancing lesions on magnetic resonance imaging and reducing brain atrophy. Healthcare providers increasingly rely on coordination of care and systems-based strategies to manage MS in patients who have a suboptimal response to therapy.

Goals (Purpose) of Program
Healthcare providers who complete this activity should be able to coordinate care and work within healthcare systems to effectively manage treatment of patients with MS, particularly those with a suboptimal response to disease-modifying therapies.
