Such a disconnect could prove fatal, especially when concerning bleeding disorders.

The Danish Hemophilia Society (DHS) works to provide hemophilic patients and their families with counseling and education to help them navigate treatment, emerging research, and daily life. As part of an initiative to support patients with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), the DHS created a dialogue tool that would facilitate effective communication between patients’ families and healthcare providers.
