News and Recognition

Dr. Anne Melzer and her team had their article “Use of Information and Communication Technology among Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Who Smoke: A Mixed Methods Study” featured by the medical media platform ‘Healio’ as a key article in pulmonary medicine.  The summary of the findings was accompanied by a perspective from Dr. Albert Rizzo, Chief Medical Officer for the American Lung Association. Dr. Melzer found that the use of information and communication technology among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who smoke was low, with few participating in key communication platforms like secure patient portals. Dr. Melzer will be presenting on the importance of a robust tobacco control policy that addresses health disparities at the upcoming American Thoracic Society International Meeting, within a session including Dr. Shereef Elnahal, Undersecretary for Health, VHA.
