Today we are bringing you a conversation on the evolving landscape for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) treatment.
Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA, vice president of ambulatory pharmacy at
Emory Healthcare and Winship Cancer Institute, spoke with Marilyn Glassberg, MD, the John W. Clarke Professor and Chair of medicine at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine; Ayodeji Adegunsoye, MD, MSc, PhD, FACP, FCCP, assistant professor at the University of Chicago; and Janet Pope, MD, MPH, professor of medicine and division member of rheumatology at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
IPF and PPF are increasingly prevalent conditions that pose a growing burden on both patients and health care systems. Despite the availability of FDA-approved antifibrotic therapies, the median survival for patients with IPF and PPF remains less than 5 years after diagnosis—underscoring the critical unmet needs that persist in this field. The panelists discussed the impact these conditions have on patients' lives, evaluated emerging agents, and addressed economic considerations that affect treatment decisions and health care resource allocation.

Challenges, Opportunities in Implementing the MDPP: Melanie T. Turk, PhD, RN
On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Melanie T. Turk, PhD, RN, an associate professor in the School of Nursing at Duquesne University and author of a study published in the October 2025 issue.
Despite its potential, her study, "Opportunities and Obstacles Associated With the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program," examines the challenges of implementing the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) from the perspective of program suppliers nationwide.
In this conversation, Turk discusses the limited adoption of the MDPP and the inspiration behind her study. She also outlines her key findings and shares next steps for implementing and sustaining the program.
