Slow ILD Progression with Practical QI That You Can Apply Now!
Begin Here
Hear from faculty on why QI is essential for impactful care of patients with Fibrosing ILDs:
You don’t realize what you’re doing right and what you’re doing wrong without measuring or assessing them. The process of going through a quality improvement program is that it makes you ask yourselves the right questions, some of which you might not have been thinking about, and seeing how you are doing with them. - Mark Yoder, MD
Each practice has its unique characteristics and has its own challenges in terms of early diagnosis or monitoring, or treatment of ILDs. This program allows clinicians to identity those unique areas that need to be improved so that clinical practice becomes more aligned with published guidelines. - Shervin Assassi, MD, MS
