Improving Patient-Centered Care Delivery Among Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
In brief
This study involves development and testing of a patient and family-centered transitional care program for patients who are hospitalized with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbations. The study intervention includes tailored services to address individual patients' biopsychosocial needs, starting early during hospital stay and continuing for 3 months post hospital discharge. The study hypothesis is that compared to usual care, the study intervention will : a) Improve patient health- related quality of life and survival, and reduce use of hospital and emergency room visits; b) result in improved patient experience, self- confidence, and self-care behaviors; c) result in improved family caregivers coping skills, self-confidence, and problem solving skills to address patient barriers to care and treatment.
