Background
LinkMyCare – COPD is a project under the NSW Health value based programs which is a NSW Health initiative that supports joint planning and funding opportunities that will facilitate long-term reform and policy change.
The project aim is to provide appropriate and accessible care for COPD patients in their community. This approach will ultimately provide consumers with improved health outcomes by providing a range of interventions in the primary care setting. Outcomes expected from the pathway include improvement in patient's self-reported quality of life, and a reduction in unplanned hospital presentations and admissions. These expected outcomes are based on international literature and local data analysis.
