NCC Knowledge Nugget Series: MPS I ACT Sheet

Date of Release: June 30, 2022
Expiration Date: June 30, 2024
Credits offered: CME
Estimate time of completion: 15 minutes 
Course must be completed by the expiration date

Course Description:

The ACMG ACT Sheets and Algorithms are a clinical decision support tool for non-genetics providers that describe the short term actions a health professional should follow in communicating with the family and determining the appropriate steps in the follow-up of the infant that has screened positive. To offer a more active and engaging educational opportunity to accompany the ACT Sheets, the National Coordinating Center for the Regional Genetics Networks (NCC) is launching the Knowledge Nugget Series. These quick sessions allow providers to review the existing ACT Sheets and provide a deep dive into a particular ACT Sheet through an animated video. The third video in the series is the Knowledge Nugget: MPS I ACT Sheet.

Target Audience: Healthcare Providers, Public Health Professionals

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
1.    Identify the purpose of the ACMG ACT Sheets.
2.    Describe how a newborn screening differs from a confirmatory test.
3.    List the next steps a provider should take once they receive an out-of-range newborn screening result for MPS I.
