Clinical Trial Summary

The prevalence of COPD is high and suppose one of the first public health problem in the world. It has a high morbidity and mortality and healthcare costs. The economic aspect is directly related to hospitalization, accounting for 45-50% of total expenditure of COPD. Patients with frequent exacerbations generate most of the cost.

In these patients, there are not standardized treatments or monitoring in a medium or long term, but it seems reasonable that the combination of various interventions (programs self-care, active role of health professionals in consultations, home programs, group visits, establishment action plans for patients, use of communication technologies or social networks) may improve many patient outcomes.

The hypothesis of our work will be to introduce telemedicine platform to establish action plans for the patient, recognition of symptoms and exacerbations, treatments for the exacerbations, training material on COPD, smoking and inhalation therapy, establishment of a fast and fluid communication with pulmonologist, with the purpose of responding to various health problems that patients with COPD (exacerbator phenotype or ACO phenotype) may have. We will study the impact of this tool to reduce the rate income or readmission for the patients with COPD, analyzing it from the perspective of cost-effectiveness.
