Abstract:
Comprehensive interstitial lung disease (ILD) care delivery models have several key components including diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, coordination with other health care providers, patient support/advocacy, education, and research. ILD is rapidly evolving, and specialized centers with ILD-specific expertise have emerged as ways to care for complex patients. The role of the specialized center in care delivery is multifaceted and aimed at improving patient care and advancing the field of ILD. Widespread access to specialized centers is a barrier to ILD care delivery worldwide. Creative and innovative strategies that leverage technology are needed to bridge gaps in ILD care.
