LungHealth’s COPD evaluation approach

In this section, you will find information about our COPD evaluation approach including the delivery of NHS Guidelines for patients with COPD, assessing the effectiveness of the Computer Guided Consultation (CGC), the elements of care during a COPD review, and statistical evaluations before and after the CGC.

Delivery of NHS Guidelines for patients with COPD

The delivery of high-quality care and associated healthcare outcomes, in any healthcare system, is entirely dependent upon the implementation of guidelines. There are effectively two aspects in relation to the delivery of evidenced based guidelines:

• The creation of the guidelines themselves

• The implementation of the guidelines

LungHealth is focussing their support around the implementation (2) of the guidelines and that is the purpose of our Computer Guided Consultation (CGC) for COPD. LungHealth has created a product that assists specialist and non-specialist healthcare professionals to deliver a full and thorough guideline level review, for all patients with an existing diagnosis of COPD.
