Lead author Jeffrey Lazarus and co-author Jörn Schattenberg join the Surfers to discuss how they developed the care models for their recent paper, "Defining Comprehensive Models of Care for NAFLD."
The authors researched care models around the world to find the ones that work best, and then developed eight foundational recommendations for co-ordinated NAFLD care centers. In this conversation, lead author Jeff Lazarus discusses the influences on his career that converged in his decision to help shape comprehensive care models for the coming NASH pandemic. Next, co-author Jörn Schattenberg described the challenges the solo hepatologist faces when treating NASH patients today, and how this kind of comprehensive systems approach will help him offer better care.
