At Home with COPD
Our At Home with COPD program was specifically developed to meet the needs of patients with COPD and decrease unwanted, expensive hospitalizations.
Research published in the Journal of the COPD Foundation showed that one in five patients with COPD is readmitted to the hospital within 30 days. It is estimated that approximately half of the estimated $50 billion in annual COPD healthcare expenses is due to the costs linked to multiple hospitalizations.
At Home with COPD includes:
- Initial and ongoing home education for patients and families to assist in controlling COPD symptoms. Patients can therefore remain more comfortable at wherever they call home.
- Education to break the cycle of anxiety and breathlessness. In addition, check-in calls are made to find out how patients are feeling, if there’s been any change in symptoms or if they have any additional needs.
- The nursing team verifies that COPD prescribed medications are taken correctly.
- Patients also receive a color-coded tool that helps them “grade” their symptoms so they know what a good day looks like versus when they need to be cautious or call for help.
- Please call 1-866-204-8611 today for more information on how our At Home with COPD program can help you or a loved one.
