CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE Model of Care. Medical paper about how to deal with COPD. In introduction, interesting part about what is a COPD technically.
abstract   bibtex   
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a combination of several different but related diseases which are primarily characterised by difficulty in breathing 1 . COPD has considerable impact on the qualit y of life of the patient, involving long term medical care, frequent hos pital admissions for treatm ent of exacerbations and, often resulting in premature death 2 . The COPD Model of Care is an articulation of best practice care for those at risk of or with diagnosed COPD across the continuum of care. The M odel of Care represents a fundamental shift away from an acute focu s which is consist ent with the Chronic Lung Condition Model of Care and the WA Chronic Health Conditions Framework 2011-2016 3 . The focus is on optimal pathways of care and the management of long- term conditions through self-managem ent, disease and case management.
