• Study description:
  The initiative aims to improve primary care for COPD patients. It will bring together electronic medical records with patient reported information and observations, and present this to clinicians in a structured and clinically relevant format at the point of care. This will be achieved using modern technology, including FHIR, electronic patient surveys, and standardized data collection, and will be guided by a network of COPD physicians in primary and secondary care. Impact will be maximised through Research publications regarding treatment effectiveness and associated risk in mild to moderate COPD, reason for therapy switch/escalation and hidden undiagnosed and untreated COPD patients in primary care. A strong network of COPD primary care physicians in the US is driving the initiative and will ensure impact on clinical practice through academic organisations and research outputs.
