Developing a nurse-led service for COPD patients

D Gibbons et al. Prof Nurse. 2001 Jan.

Abstract

A rise in the rate of hospital admissions for patients with COPD has led to the development of nurse-led home care. A study in which a nurse-led team provided domiciliary treatment with ongoing follow-up, was found to be cost-effective and reduced the need for hospital care.
