Improving the Patient Experience in Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Disease: The Intersection of Early Diagnosis, Customized Therapy, and Adverse Event Management

Media: Enduring Material
Activity Release Date: May 19, 2023
Activity Expiration Date: May 18, 2024
Time to Complete Activity: 30 minutes

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
