Frequent under- and delayed diagnosis result in poor outcomes, disproportionately affecting individuals from racial and ethnic minority groups. To understand barriers to early detection and treatment and factors contributing to disparities, American Medical Group Association (AMGA) conducted roundtable discussions and semistructured interviews in 2021. Eighteen participants discussed PAD evaluation, diagnosis, early medical management, and disparities in care. A qualitative case study approach and data reduction methods were used to generate themes, draw conclusions, and make actionable recommendations. Identified themes included lack of (1) prioritization of PAD for population health; (2) engagement of primary care providers in early evaluation and referral; (3) \u201cownership\u201d of lower-extremity PAD within health systems; and (4) focus on disparities in care. Participant solutions included (1) financial impact of early PAD management, in the context of value-based payment; (2) embedding an advanced practice provider into a vascular surgery practice to facilitate evaluation and provide medical therapy; and (3) leveraging care coordination, multidisciplinary clinics, and telehealth technology to provide comprehensive care for patients with PAD and address disparities. A deliberate focused effort is necessary to close gaps and the accompanying disparities in early evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for people with lower-extremity PAD. The authors describe 3 models that can be emulated to improve care for this high-risk population. With improved reimbursement and better medical therapies, now is the time to focus on early diagnosis and management of PAD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pop.2023.0095","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,10]],"date-time":"2023-11-10T14:27:01Z","timestamp":1699626421000},"page":"387-396","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Perspectives on Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease: A Qualitative Study of Early Diagnosis and Treatment and the Impact of Health Disparities"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9741-4610","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cori","family":"Grant","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AMGA (American Medical Group Association), Alexandria, Virginia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John K.","family":"Cuddeback","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AMGA (American Medical Group Association), Alexandria, Virginia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olamide","family":"Alabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caitlin W.","family":"Hicks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kay","family":"Sadik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC, Titusville, New Jersey, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1262-7946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth L.","family":"Ciemins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AMGA (American Medical Group Association), Alexandria, Virginia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2019.02.016"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000950"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.semvascsurg.2021.02.005"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.110.003954"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/CIA.S79355"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_7_2","first-page":"e791","article-title":"AHA\/ACC Guideline on the Management of Patients With Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease: a report of the American College of Cardiology\/American Heart Association Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines","volume":"135","author":"Correction to:","year":"2016","unstructured":"Correction to:. 2016.
