COPD Management News and Views

Our simple tool,  is useful to any healthcare trust looking to develop monitoring of COPD patients at a primary care level.  The e-calculator we’ve developed asks healthcare practitioners a series of questions relating to their COPD patients, including the typical number of unscheduled, emergency admissions they see each month. It then gives a tailored illustration of the potential savings that could be achieved by performing blood gas tests in the community, or in the comfort of a patient’s home, rather than in a traditional hospital setting. 

To download the calculator and see how much you could save, just click here: http://www.axis-shielduk.com/uploads/docs/COPD%20costs%202009-10.xls
