Bridging Specialties: Timely Diagnosis for ILD – A Quality Improvement Demonstration Project 2024

Chicago, IL US
January 24, 2024 to March 1, 2024
This activity will help reduce the time to ILD diagnosis through education directed at primary care clinicians, who are the first healthcare professionals to encounter patients with ILD. The goal is to increase primary care clinicians' awareness of signs, symptoms, and historical factors suggestive of ILD, so they can provide improved care to patients with this disease.
 
This grant is supported by CHEST in partnership with Three Lakes Foundation.
