Hepatology Expert Network for APPs provides Advanced Practice Providers with a means of professional development to receive clinical instruction and support for complex advanced liver care from liver specialists, collaborate with peers, and receive support for advanced liver care. As APPs' Magnitude of Study and Assess Liver Disease (MASLD) and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) becomes more prevalent, APPs will increasingly be responsible for early disease identification, fibrosis risk assessment, and ongoing care of a disease throughout its process. However, complex cases and advanced fibrosis generally require consultation with a specialist. Accessible through the MASLD Community Network, the Hepatology Expert Network for APPs fosters the development of multidisciplinary teamwork, the enhancement of clinical confidence, and the expansion of patient-centered liver care, regardless of the clinical setting.
The Hepatology Expert Network for APPs makes available to Advanced Practice Providers specialists, opportunity for peer collaboration, clinical mentorship, and support for advanced hepatology care. APPs are able to confidently manage clients with complex metabolic liver disease through streamlined referral processes, multidisciplinary partnership, and the ongoing education of their peers.
The Hepatology Expert Network for APPs, along with the expert resources and professional connections provided through the MASLD Community Network, enhances patient liver health through improved collaborative care and patient-centered liver health outcomes.
