Collaborating with Patients to Improve IPF Care: Strategies to Enhance Patient QOL and Survival

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Recent efforts to improve provider-patient communication and facilitate shared decision-making regarding treatments have been successful, as two-thirds of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients report being involved in discussions regarding their care. However, opportunities still exist to ensure alignment of patient and physician priorities and to provide clinicians with the most up-to-date evidence on IPF treatment options. New studies have revealed an increase in patient survival when taking either of the FDA-approved agents to treat IPF, highlighting an important need for early diagnosis and referral to IPF specialty treatment centers.
Collaborating with Patients to Improve IPF Care: Strategies to Enhance Patient QOL and Survival is designed to increase awareness of the latest approaches to assess and manage IPF; thus, prolonging patient survival and improving patient QOL.
