Personalize CIDP Care: Practical QI You Can Apply Now!
Begin Here
Hear from faculty on why QI is essential for impactful care of patients with CIDP:
CIDP is a challenging diagnosis because there is no single diagnostic biomarker. We arrive at a diagnosis based mainly on clinical features and piecing together different bits of data such as electrophysiology and other lab tests. One of the biggest barriers is understanding how all of this information fits together to make an accurate diagnosis.
This is a really great resource to make our time more efficient so we can understand where we need to place our energy and where we really need to focus on so that we can get the most out of our educational experience.
