SCD Toolbox vs Connect SCD Uso & Estadísticas

The SCD Toolbox App is like having a sickle cell anemia expert in your pocket. Not all healthcare professionals who work with sickle cell disease patients are specialists. The SCD Toolbox is the first interactive resource to offer up-to-date guidelines and specialist accessibility for sickle cell patient care. Current estimates put the number of Americans with sickle cell anemia at 70,000-100,000 people. Sickle cell disease is rare enough that most medical facilities do not have the need or the resources for a dedicated SCD specialist on staff. But SCD patients in crisis don’t always have the choice about where they receive treatment. The SCD Toolbox can help fill in the gaps. The SCD Toolbox App is specifically designed for medical teams and providers working with sickle cell anemia patients and Includes the most recent protocols for caring for patients with sickle cell disease - Has separate guidelines for pediatric patients (grouped by age) and adults (grouped by history, exams, labs, etc) Offers printable PDFs with algorithms for the most common and concerning complications, which have been vetted by SCD experts - Gives users the ability to contact a regional specialist by video-chat or email To try the SCD Toolbox – please enter 1234 to unlock.
