Bridging Specialties™: Timely Diagnosis for ILD
Description
Bridging Specialties™: Timely Diagnosis for ILD empowers healthcare professionals to provide timely diagnosis for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). By providing practical information and tools to help healthcare professionals recognize the signs and symptoms of ILD and understand the diagnostic process, patients can be diagnosed earlier and experience better disease management and quality of life.
This program consists of two learning activities:
Bridging Specialties™: Early Detection for ILD
Enhance your recognition and awareness of ILDs to shorten the time to diagnosis for your patients.
Bridging Specialties™: ILD Decision-Making Tool
Conduct a simulated visit with patients and choose which clinical actions to take based on presentation.
Visit the CHEST website to access the Bridging Specialties™: ILD Clinician Toolkit containing additional resources focused on the steps to take when a patient displays signs of ILD. From an ILD-specific patient questionnaire, to a decision-making tool that walks you through patient scenarios, and much more, this toolkit can help you reach an earlier diagnosis and start treatment for your patients more quickly—since time lost is lung lost.

Program Overview
Early Detection for ILD
Enhance your recognition and awareness of the signs and symptoms of ILDs so you're able to shorten the time to diagnosis for your patients. Understand reasons for delayed diagnosis, symptoms to watch and listen for, suggested patient workups, and proactive steps to take—including when you may want to refer to an ILD specialist.
ILD Decision-Making Tool
Participate in interactive scenarios to conduct a simulated visit with patients and choose a clinical action to take, including completing a physical exam, ordering tests, referring to an ILD specialist, or providing treatment.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Identify the classic symptoms of ILDs.
- Describe how patient history, ILD-specific questionnaires, and additional workups impact early detection in adults with suspected ILD.
- Recognize how early suspicion of ILD and detection benefits patients receiving treatment options earlier through partnerships with an ILD specialist.
