overview

Patients in long-term care (LTC) settings face a variety of daily health-related problems. In a recent survey of LTC health care professionals, constipation was high on the list of issues affecting their patients. Because of patient-related issues, varied treatment options, and an unclear picture of the impact of constipation, the care offered to patients is uneven across the spectrum of LTC centers.

The expert panel participating in this multimedia program provides both a broad and focused perspective on constipation. Their discussions range from the epidemiology and pathophysiology of constipation, the unique problems presented by this condition in the LTC setting, to a comprehensive overview of treatment options. Their presentations are based on the latest findings regarding the diagnosis and management of chronic constipation, and offer LTC health care professionals guidelines for providing effective patient care.
