Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the third most common cause of hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge. These readmissions increase the overall healthcare cost burden. We examined the effect of early follow-up visit with patient’s primary care physician (PCP) or pulmonologist on 30-day and 1-year readmission risk. Methods: We constructed an electronic […]

Background: Legionella pneumophilia is typically transmitted via inhalation aerosols derived from water or soil during outbreaks or be acquired sporadically, commonly causing community-acquired or nosocomial pneumonia1,2. Death occurs through progressive respiratory failure, shock and multiorgan failure3,4. Epidemiological data for in-patient Legionella in the United States (U.S.) is lacking. The objective of the study is to […]

Background: The US healthcare system is under increasing pressure to improve value and affordability. Acute care is responsible for a large proportion of overall health costs, but the complexities and pace in this environment have left an evidence gap in value-based care transformation. Novel improvement and evaluation strategies are thus needed more than ever to […]

Background: There is literature to suggest there is a subtype of COPD patients in which eosinophils may play an important role. Data suggests that this subset of patient are more prone to develop exacerbations, but also have a higher likelihood of responding to inhaled corticosteroid therapy. The objective of this study is to determine if […]

Background: Hospital Readmission Reduction Program(HRRP) implemented by CMS as part of Affordable Care Act (ACA) applies financial penalties to hospitals that have higher-than-expected readmission rates for common conditions such as AMI, pneumonia, and HF. CMS extended this program to include COPD for the fiscal year (FY) 2015. While there has been a reduction in readmissions, […]

Background: Several studies attest the effectiveness of physician order set, also known as Power Plan (PP) in standardizing patient care and improving outcomes. In general, PP use is suboptimal. We hypothesized that PP use in patients admitted with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) assists in standardization and appropriateness of inpatient management. Methods: We conducted a […]

Background: Tobacco cessation is the most effective intervention for reducing the progression of disease in COPD patients and reducing mortality. Varenicline is the most effective drug to treat tobacco use disorder. The American Thoracic Society strongly recommends initiation of Varenicline for smoking cessation, even in patients who are not ready to quit. Hospitalist initiation of […]

Background: COPD exacerbations are among the leading causes of hospital readmissions. According to the COPD Foundation, in 2013, 22% patients admitted for COPD exacerbation required readmission within 30 days of discharge. This represents a significant burden in terms of morbidity for these patients and increased cost to the healthcare system. The COPD readmission rate during […]

Background: eHealth interventions provide opportunities to enhance asthma or COPD self-management, though eHealth literacy (eHL) needs to be evaluated in this population. We evaluated the association between eHL and self-efficacy, as well as the willingness to use eHealth applications in patients hospitalized for chronic lung diseases (i.e., asthma and COPD). Methods: This cross-sectional observational study […]
