Improving the Patient Experience in Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Disease: The Intersection of Early Diagnosis, Customized Therapy, and Adverse Event Management
Improving the Patient Experience in Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Disease: The Intersection of Early Diagnosis, Customized Therapy, and Adverse Event Management is organized by PVI, PeerView Institute for Medical Education.
Activity Release Date: May 19, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: May 18, 2024
Activity Description:
In this activity, experts in nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease discuss diagnosis of the disease through knowledge of risk factors, comorbid conditions, and disease signs and symptoms. Through a collection of short, focused educational modules, the faculty will also discuss managing adverse events and creating personalized care plans to improve patient adherence and outcomes. Interviews with a patient will highlight the impact that NTM-LD—and proper treatment—can have on quality of life.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
• Identify risk factors, comorbid conditions, and signs and symptoms of NTM-LD to facilitate early diagnosis
• Work with the care team to create personalized treatment plans for patients with NTM-LD according to current guidelines and patient goals/preferences, using shared decision-making and evidence-based care
• Employ guideline-based strategies to help patients manage drug-related adverse events/toxicity to improve adherence and treatment outcomes.
