A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO REDUCE CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE READMISSIONS IN A COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is among the top three leading causes of hospital readmissions in the United States. Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(AECOPD) is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and cost with AECOPD accounting for more than half of the 15.5 billion USD spent on COPD[1,2]. In this project, we aim […]
