Upcoming Webinar:

Using Patient-Reported Outcomes to Measure Quality of Life in Home Parenteral Nutrition

February 26, 2025 at 1PM (CST)

Quality of life (QOL) is a subjective concept often described as the perception of satisfaction or happiness with life in areas of importance to the individual.  Historically, the parenteral nutrition (PN) literature has portrayed poor QOL among home PN dependent patients, yet subjective reports are often better and some of the discrepancies may be related to use of generic health related QOL instruments rather than disease or therapy-specific questionnaires.  This webinar will define QOL among home PN dependent adults, identify factors that influence QOL, and introduce patient reported outcomes designed to improve communication about QOL between patients, families, and clinicians. 

Objectives:

  1.  Define quality of life as it relates to home parenteral nutrition dependency.
  2.  Identify factors that influence quality of life of home parenteral nutrition dependent adults.
  3.  Apply knowledge from therapy-specific patient reported outcome questionnaire to the care of home parenteral nutrition dependent patients
