The Role of APPs in Advanced ILD/PH ILD
August 2026
18:12 m
In this ILD Community Network podcast episode, host Kelsey Cramer is joined by Jenny Williams, for a practical discussion on the role of advanced practice providers in advanced interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease, also known as PH-ILD. Together, they explore how APPs can recognize high-risk signs of disease progression, including worsening shortness of breath, declining exercise tolerance, increasing oxygen needs, changes in pulmonary function tests, reduced six-minute walk distance, and signs of right heart strain or pulmonary hypertension. This episode also highlights when clinicians should consider referral to ILD specialty centers, pulmonary hypertension clinics, lung transplant evaluation, pulmonary rehab, anti-fibrotic therapy, inhaled therapy for PH-ILD, and palliative care support. Listeners will gain practical insights into identifying advanced ILD, understanding PH-ILD risk factors, recognizing transplant referral triggers, coordinating multidisciplinary care, and ensuring patients receive timely access to specialized treatment and advanced therapies.

Practical Considerations for Screening for PH in ILD Clinics
July 2025
17:17 m
In this insightful Podcast, expert advanced practice providers, Corinne Young & Jessica Glennie share practical strategies for identifying and screening for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). They discuss how to recognize subtle red flags—such as declining DLCO, changes in walk test performance, and discrepancies in pulmonary function test results—that may indicate the presence of PH. The conversation also covers when to order echocardiograms, when to refer for right heart catheterization, and how to distinguish ILD progression from the development of PH. With a focus on multidisciplinary collaboration and real-world clinical workflows, this episode offers valuable, actionable guidance for APPs, pulmonologists, and care teams managing ILD populations.

How can Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in rheumatology and pulmonology collaborate more effectively to manage interstitial lung disease (ILD) and connective tissue diseases (CTDs)? In this engaging episode of the APAPP Broadcast, recorded live at the Second Annual National APAPP Conference in Nashville, experts Jessica Glennie, PA-C (Cleveland Clinic), Amanda Mixon, PA-C (Colorado), and Cori Fratelli, NP (National Jewish Health) explore clinical overlaps between autoimmune rheumatic diseases and lung involvement, such as ILD in rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), Sjögren’s syndrome, and myositis. The panel shares clinical pearls on: -How to recognize signs of CTDs in pulmonary patients -The importance of labs and imaging in early diagnosis -What rheumatology APPs should ask about pulmonary symptoms -The power of cross-specialty collaboration -Real-world case insights, including navigating bird-related hypersensitivity pneumonitis

Podcast: Recognizing PH-ILD Earlier: Missed Signals, Delayed Diagnosis, and How to Close the Gap
February 2026
31:14 m
Pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) is one of the most impactful—and often underrecognized—complications in patients with established ILD, frequently presenting with symptoms that mimic ILD progression. In this ILD Community Network podcast episode, Amanda Mixon is joined by Corinne Young to break down why PH-ILD is missed, what red flags clinicians should watch for, and when to escalate evaluation beyond “worsening ILD.” The discussion highlights practical screening cues such as disproportionate DLCO decline, stable imaging with worsening dyspnea, enlarged pulmonary arteries on high-resolution CT, and revealing echocardiogram findings including RV/RA enlargement, TAPSE, and tricuspid regurgitation—along with the limitations of echo estimates and the role of right heart catheterization for confirmation. Tune in for real-world strategies to improve earlier recognition, reduce diagnostic delays, and strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration between rheumatology, pulmonology, and primary care to improve outcomes for patients living with ILD and PH-ILD. #InterstitialLungDisease #PulmonaryHypertension #PHILD #Rheumatology #Pulmonology #AdvancedPracticeProviders #MedicalEducation #ILDCommunityNetwork #APAPP #RhAPP
