Descrizione dettagliata
This is a single-centre randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of discharge coordinator intervention compared to care as usual in patients with COPD.
The study is being conducted at University Clinic of Pulmonary and Allergic Diseases Golnik, Slovenia. Patients with suspicion of acute exacerbation of COPD will be screened at admission when they will be informed about study details. After explanations of concerns and questions that they might have, a signed informed consent will be collected. During 48 hours, patients will be included according to their eligibility. Main inclusion criteria are COPD stage II-IV according to Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines, ability to perform phone contacts and availability for home visits. Patients will be excluded if in unstable or terminal stage of disease other than COPD, if they will die during hospitalization, or if unable to follow the study protocol.

Intervento / Trattamento |
|---|---|

Sperimentale: Coordinated discharge
Patients will receive support by discharge coordinator for activities associated with discharge and immediate post-discharge care.
|
In intervention group, a discharge coordinator contacts hospitalized patients the day after randomization.
During hospitalization, discharge coordinator visits are scheduled according to patients' problems and home-care needs.
At 48 hours after hospital discharge, a discharge coordinator calls patients by phone to check the process of adjustment to home environment and to inquire about additional needs patients might have.
Thereafter, phone contacts are scheduled according to the patients' needs and 7-10 days after the hospital discharge a home visit is performed by discharge coordinator, respectively.
