“The best way to predict your future is to create it” Abraham Lincoln
“The best way to predict your future is to invent it” Steve Jobs
3
To create a shared system of care that improves the quality of care and experience for patients at risk for and living with COPD by:
› Identifying early
› Using a team-based approach
› Improving communication
› Improving management
Aim
4
At the GP practice:
Enhanced identification and diagnosis of COPD
Appropriate risk stratification based on level of airflow obstruction and symptoms and exacerbation history – followed by review of prescriptions
Appropriate use of evidence-informed treatments for COPD based on GPAC guidelines
How will we achieve this aim?
5
In a shared care environment:
Implementing more standardized referral and consult letters, and improving relationships, hand offs and communication between GPs and specialist physicians
Developing relationships and care plans amongst GPs, patients, and community services
How will we achieve this aim?
6
Across the continuum
Supporting patients to quit smoking
Enhancing patient self-management skills for patients to manage their condition
Improving the patient experience with the system of care
How will we achieve this aim?
7
% of COPD on register having confirmed diagnostic spirometry
% of COPD patients with an exacerbation plan
% of smokers on with COPD offered smoking cessation support
% patients with COPD who have been referred to pulmonary programs where available
% of patients with COPD with a coordinated care plan amongst GPs, specialists, and/or community resources
How will we know if we are implementing changes that will support our goal?
8
% of registry patients reporting an Emergency Department visit or having an unplanned GP visit for COPD since their last appointment.
% of registry patients reporting a hospital admission for COPD since their last appointment
How will we know if we are reaching our goal?

Prevalence and Burden of COPD
11
COPD is a preventable and treatable disease with some significant extra-pulmonary effects that may contribute to the severity in individual patients.
Its pulmonary component is characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible.
The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lung to noxious particles or gases.

Trends in age-standardized death rates(Percent change between 1970 and 2002)
15
Statistics (CTS report Feb 2010)
COPD now accounts for the highest rate of hospital admissions among major chronic illnesses in Canada (CIHI – 2008)
16
Hospital costs: Example in Lower Mainland: $40 million
17
Assume relatively linear increase in prevalence will continue to 2014

An event in the natural course of the disease characterized by a change in the patient’s baseline dyspnea, cough, and/or sputum that is beyond normal day-to-day variations, is acute in onset, and may warrant a change in regular medication in a patient with underlying COPD.”
Acute Exacerbations are the leading cause of deaths, hospitalization and ER visits.

What is Spirometry?
29
Assessing Disability in COPD
30
To accurately diagnose COPD at an earlier stage so that subjects maybe be motivated to stop smoking using such tools as the lung age.

Why perform spirometry?
32
Survival in COPD – Relationship to Lung Function and Disability
Nishimura K, et al. Chest 2002; 121: 1434: 40
33
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC): the largest amount of air that can be breathe out after you take your biggest breath in.
Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1): the amount of air you can force out of your lungs in one second
What does Spirometry measure?
34
Spirometry
FEV1
FVC
FEV1/FVC ratio
Bronchodilator change
35
FEV1 change > 12% or 200ml Both asthma and smoking related COPD Post BD improvement = better prognosis No relationship to clinical response
Post bronchodilator change
36
Aging FEV1/FVC ratio
Spirometry in COPD: False Positive
37
Routine workup of dyspnea Confirm the diagnosis of asthma or COPD. Classification - prognosis of COPD Use detailed Pulmonary Function Tests selectively
Spirometry Summary
38
If you have a normal result has the potential to rule out COPD
May have some false positives due to 6 second exhalation time reducing the denominator ie FEV1/FEV6.
If FEV1/FEV6 is low ,<0.7 ,then refer to accredited lab for definitive diagnosis

Results of blow
Green ≥ 80%+ratio > 0.70 = Not COPD
Green ≥ 80% = STAGE I
Yellow = 50 - 80% = STAGE II
Orange = 30 - 49% = STAGE III

65
In a clear, strong and personalized manner, urge every tobacco user to quit at least once per year
› Clear “As your doctor, I believe it is important for you to quit smoking, and I can help
you.”
› Strong “I need you to know that quitting smoking is very important to protecting your
health now and in the future.”
› Personalized Tie tobacco use to health/illness (reason for office visit, i.e. URTI/bronchitis),
social/economic costs and impact on values (e.g., children)
