What kinds of cases will be discussed? — All new cases of ILD? — All new cases of IIP? — All patients suspected of having IPF? — All patients being screened for participation in a clinical trial? Will you review patients not seen at your centre?
Who should be involved? + Clinician + Thoracic Radiology + Pulmonary Pathology + ILD Clinic Nurse + Fellows and trainees ± Rheumatology ± Thoracic Surgery Chair (“Champion”) Organize rounds Take notes Timekeeper
