Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Nursing Practice

Background:

  • Rising hospital admission rates for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) necessitate innovative care models.
  • Traditional inpatient care for COPD exacerbations presents significant resource challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a nurse-led home care program for COPD patients.
  • To determine if domiciliary treatment with follow-up can decrease hospital utilization.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a dedicated nurse-led team for home-based COPD management.
  • Provision of ongoing domiciliary treatment and patient follow-up by the nursing team.

Main Results:

  • The nurse-led home care model demonstrated significant cost-effectiveness.
  • A notable reduction in the need for hospital admissions among participating COPD patients was observed.

Conclusions:

  • Nurse-led home care is a viable and efficient strategy for managing COPD patients in the community.
  • This model offers a cost-effective solution to reduce hospital care burdens for COPD.
