Referral of Patients to the APRN for Clinical Care
The APRN welcomes the opportunity to evaluate patients with Pulmonary Hypertension/ILD and provide comprehensive consultation to referring physicians. Patients may be referred for a variety of reasons, including:
- Second opinion regarding a diagnosis
- Advice regarding further evaluation and management
- Assumption of care
- Evaluation for potential participation in any of several ongoing research studies.
The founding clinicians at the APRN are experienced in the co-management of patients with referring physicians from a variety of medical specialties and geographic areas.
We welcome the opportunity to have an initial comprehensive evaluation and then periodically re-evaluate the patient, but leave the day-to-day management to the referring physician. Often these re-evaluations can coincide with research visits.
Referral of Patients for Research Participation
To refer a patient for participation in a research study physicians can directly contact Nicole Maslanka at 404-966-3775. APRN researchers will then coordinate the evaluations necessary to consider the prospective patient for any available studies.
