Chronic Patient's Management: the Copd Example

Care of chronic patients within any health care model around the world shows two main characteristics: first, it is responsible for a very significant part of the total health care costs and second, their intervention paradigms, based mostly on acute care by episodes, adapt with difficulties to the needs of these kind of patients. This situation opens a wide margin of potential improvements through new paradigms to cope efficiently with these needs, including, as a minimum:
