Philips COPD Initiative Bolsters Case for Coordinated Care
A 2017 Integrated COPD Care Initiative pilot program (2017) succeeded in its aim to reduce hospital readmission rates and acute to post-acute care-associated costs in patients with COPD. According to a Philips press release: “In Alabama, a group of institutions collaborated on an initiative, known as the Integrated COPD Care Initiative, to identify gaps in care and develop an integrated COPD care program that included continual data collection. This state-wide group was made up of a Philips Premier One COPD provider—a Home Medical Equipment (HME) provider, a hospital system, and a consulting and analytics rm. Through the implementation of published, evidence-based care strategies, the Initiative reduced hospital readmissions, lowered costs, and avoided penalties over the course of three quarters in 2017.”
