This case study found significant gaps in connections to expert care, even among providers caring for patients at risk for pulmonary arterial hypertension or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, which may be driven in part by limited provider experience, geographic barriers, and disconnected providers and care networks. Multifaceted strategies may be needed to improve referral rates for patients with pulmonary hypertension.
