Part of the educational program Bridging Specialties®: Timely Diagnosis and Treatment for Refractory Chronic Cough, this activity examines the diagnostic challenges associated with refractory chronic cough (RCC) and the importance of coordinated, guideline-directed evaluation across specialties. RCC is frequently characterized by prolonged diagnostic delays, repeated empiric treatments, and fragmented care across specialties. Many patients experience months of persistent symptoms before a structured evaluation is implemented. This activity highlights practical strategies for applying a CHEST guideline-directed diagnostic pathway to improve efficiency, reduce unnecessary repetition, and support timely multidisciplinary coordination. Clinicians will gain tools to streamline evaluation and reduce patient burden.
