The guide on ILD CTD for APPs is necessary due to the complexity of intertwining autoimmune disorders with the involvement of the interstitial lung. Since certain connective tissue diseases can be associated with inflammatory or fibrotic lung patterns, APPs need to identify early pulmonary manifestations.
APPs can acquire in-depth knowledge through the ILD Community Network.
The CTD-ILD guide for APPs encourages comprehensive assessments, rheumatology-pulmonary co-management, organized follow-up, and strategy implementation. Advanced practice providers enhance the quality of care for patients suffering from CTD-ILD through the combination of a multidisciplinary approach with individualized disease management and education.
With the support of clinical updates, digital education, and the rapid professional development offered by the ILD Community Network, APPs can freely and confidently spearhead care coordination in the CTD-ILD space.
