Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if educational intervention is effective in reducing exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients with low-risk disease.
Detailed Description
There is growing evidence about the effectiveness of case management in preventing adverse events in patients with high-risk chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). But the majority of COPD patients belong to the low-risk category. We propose that a less intense educational intervention will have a similar beneficial effect in reducing hospital admissions and emergency department (ED) visits in this larger group of low-risk COPD patients.
