TARGET AUDIENCE This activity is intended for primary care physicians (PCPs) and clinicians specializing in respiratory disorders.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES PREAMBLE

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: • Individualize maintenance regimens for patients with COPD to minimize exacerbation risks • Longitudinally manage patients with COPD by monitoring symptom progression, assessing therapeutic response, and adjusting treatment as needed • Educate patients on the need for appropriate physical activity, techniques to avoid exacerbations, and treatment adherence

PROGRAM OVERVIEW Ongoing vigilant management of patients with COPD is essential to improving outcomes. The importance of implementing focused therapy on preventing exacerbations cannot be overemphasized. Evidence-based education that addresses individualized maintenance regimens is needed to optimize COPD care over the long term. Patients who experience COPD exacerbations and hospitalizations are at increased risk of falling into a perpetual cycle of symptom progression, declining lung function, increasing disability, and accumulating fatigue. Clinicians should routinely employ symptom evaluations and well-defined follow-up plans for patients with COPD. Most will require treatment with medications—often combination regimens—which will likely intensify throughout the course of the disease. Patient preferences, results from routine symptom reassessments, exacerbation risks, and therapeutic adherence should all shape treatment decisions that are shared between the patient and the clinician. This program will focus on patient-clinician communication as a fundamental aspect of COPD care that better addresses patient preferences, exacerbation prevention, treatment goals, and longitudinal management, while overcoming barriers to treatment adherence.
