Description

Patient lost to follow-up, that all too familiar cause of treatment plan non-adherence, is a short-hand euphemism for an often multifactorial "failure to find" that frequently leads to poor outcomes with substantial emotional and financial impact on patients, clinicians, and health care systems. In this interactive, case-based session, participants will learn the surprising/alarming scale of this problem and walk away with practical guides and tools to identify at-risk patients, communicate with them more effectively, and provide a feasible safety net including, but not limited to, technological solutions.

Learning Objective 1

Describe timeline expectations for management of common pulmonary and sleep clinic conditions, and frequency of deviation from them.
