Upcoming
Webinars
Implementing Evidence-Based Practices: Quick Start
Speaker:
Elizabeth Lorde-Rollins, MD
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Assistant Professor of
Obstetrics and Gynecology,
Mount Sinai Medical School
Historically, women have been instructed to postpone starting hormonal
contraceptives until the next menses. However, research has revealed
that most women can safely begin taking hormonal contraception (and even
be provided an IUD) on the same day of their clinic visit, without
having undergone a Pap smear, and at any point in the menstrual cycle
(Quick Start method). This webinar will review evidence-based protocols
and practices to support the design and delivery of reproductive health
services to female family planning users that will facilitate enhanced
access to contraception, streamlined clinical processes and enhanced
patient outcomes.
Nursing Contact Hour(s) and Continuing Medical Education available for
this webinar.
Cicatelli Associates Inc. is an approved provider of continuing nursing
education by the New York State Nurses Association, an accredited
approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on

Previous Webinars
Using New Media as Effective
Communication Tools for Patient Recruitment and Retention
Speakers: Rebecca Brookes
President, Upstream Social Marketing LLC
and Janelle Hutchinson
Health Educator, Oswego County Opportunities, Inc.
The overwhelming majority of adolescents, as well as women ages 20-29,
are completely “plugged in” to new media. These young women use online
tools like Facebook, texting, blogs, Twitter, YouTube, and podcasting to
educate themselves and make decisions, to purchase, and to communicate
with one another. Yet many family planning organizations do not take
advantage of the opportunities of new media, either as tools to interest
and recruit new patients, or as methods of effective communication with
existing patients.
This webinar will provide a brief overview of new media as well as
concrete examples of how health providers use these tools to
communicate, educate, and encourage use of services with their
audiences.

Title X Program Diagnostic Tool
Speaker:
Dawn Middleton, Project Director
Cicatelli Associates Inc.
In
an environment of limited resources, conducting an evaluation of core
areas of program operations to assess opportunities to enhance the
effectiveness and efficiency of Title X health service delivery
structures becomes essential.
This webinar will review the use and application of a simple self
administered diagnostic tool designed to support Title X programs in
examining patterns of staff utilization and productivity, evaluate
health center capacity as compared to demand for services and assess
opportunities to enhance fiscal sustainability of program operations.
Webinar proceedings will include Title X program staff sharing their
experiences and findings from utilizing the diagnostic tool to assess
program operations and utilize findings to identify areas for
improvement.

Implementing Evidence-Based Practices: Pap Smears
Speaker: Elizabeth Lorde-Rollins, MD
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Assistant Professor of
Obstetrics and Gynecology,
Mount Sinai Medical School
The practice of annual Pap smear examination is largely a historical phenomenon. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) support the newly revised evidence-based guidelines regarding initiation of cervical screening as well as frequency of subsequent screening. Most cases of cervical cancer occur in women who are not screened adequately, as opposed to infrequently. Unnecessary screening of average women can have adverse economic, emotional, and future childbearing implications. This webinar will investigate the trend of decreasing the frequency of Pap smear exams and moving the baseline screening to 3 years of the start of sexual activity or age 21, whichever comes first.

Addressing Reproductive Health Inequities
Compelling evidence indicate that race and ethnicity correlate with persistent and often increasing health disparities among the U.S. population. Promoting health equities will require new knowledge about determinants of disease, causes of health disparities, and effective interventions for prevention and treatment. This webinar is intended to increase participant awareness about reproductive healthcare disparities and support Title X providers in considering ways to promote health equities within their clinic setting.

Clinical Services for Males
Family Planning agencies have been working for many years to involve males in reproductive health care. This effort is being heightened by the direct provision of health services to males in communities. This training will focus on the clinical protocols, issues and skills needed, to provide clinical services to males.
The webinar will address the following topic areas: performing the male exam, STD and HIV testing and treatment, and health education strategies.

Practical Strategies
for Implementing Comprehensive Male Service Programs
Date: Thursday, January 29, 2009
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Amanda Stukenberg, Director of Planned
Parenthood of South Texas in Corpus Christi, Texas will describe the
challenges and successes of the agency’s Title X initiative to
increase male utilization of reproductive health services. The five
year project resulted in male clinic clients increasing from 2% to
20% of the total clinic population, while unduplicated female
clients increased by 34%. The discussion will include implementation
strategies, training and clinical challenges, external and internal
marketing lessons learned, changes in community attitudes towards
male roles in family planning, and outcomes of increased knowledge
and changes in attitudes and behavior by male clients as documented
in the project’s research data. The discussion will focus on how
implementing male services improves service delivery for both male
and female clients.
