Using Implementation Science to Improve Multidisciplinary Diagnostic and Treatment Pathways for Patients With PAH

Interactive Practice Guide

Multidisciplinary care is vital in the diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and, although multiple therapies are available for PAH, patient outcomes remain suboptimal due to delayed diagnosis, underutilization of risk assessment tools, and undertreatment. To address these challenges and meet the needs of patients, evolving multidisciplinary approaches to PAH management offer recommended strategies for screening high-risk patients, diagnosis, initial and ongoing risk assessment, and treatment to support personalized care. However, for more patients to realize the benefits of this approach, comprehensive education is needed to ensure multidisciplinary team members, including those from cardiology, pulmonology, internal medicine, and pharmacy, among others, are prepared to perform integrated care functions. This interactive practice guide interweaves education and practical guidance for easy integration of the latest evidence into routine clinical practices, processes, and workflows.
