FROM THE CLINICAL KNOWLEDGE CENTER
Dozing at the Doctor's Office? Wake Up to the Problem
Sleep-wake problems impact a large segment of the American population—current estimates suggest that 50 to 70 million Americans of all ages are affected by sleep-wake disturbances. These problems have far-reaching societal consequences, as they are associated with increased risk of traffic accidents, decrements in work performance, impaired interpersonal relationships, and increased health care utilization. Medical comorbidities are common in patients with primary sleep-wake disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Epidemiologic research indicates that untreated OSA is associated with increased risk for hypertension, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. In addition, laboratory studies suggest that sleep deprivation is associated with enhanced pain sensitivity, and alterations in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity that are consistent with an increased risk for diabetes. Despite the major impact of sleep-wake problems at the societal and individual level, little is known about the scope of these problems at the primary care level, the front-line of the health-care system…

CREATE YOUR OWN CME
That's what happens when you respond to polls, surveys, and interactive segments during neuroscienceCME activities. Your responses fuel virtually every innovation we make, including topics, learning formats, faculty selection, and more. Outcomes measurement has become a key part of a well-rounded CME activity, and relies on participant involvement before, during, and after the event. At CME Outfitters we are using creative and convenient methods for gathering this data. Our webcasts feature live online polling that is then shared with the television audience in real-time. We have also invested in "response card" technology to gather feedback during live symposia. We also rely on electronic surveys when warranted. In the next few days you may be receiving a pre-test survey from us that is related to the 8/22/07 live neuroscienceCME TV broadcast entitled: Pharmacodynamics of Atypical Antipsychotics: Clinical Correlations and Practice Implications. Please take a moment to share your insights and practice patterns with us, and you'll have a hand in shaping future CME activities from CME Outfitters and neuroscienceCME.
