MISSION – Modern Innovative SolutionS Improving Outcomes iN COPD
Author: Dr Ellie Lanning, Wessex Respiratory Medicine Trainee, Individual QI Fellowship, 2015-16
Summary: MISSION COPD is a quality improvement project, delivering a holistic assessment of patients with COPD. Our patient-centred model brought secondary and tertiary care specialists to the patient’s local practice. In one visit each patient went through a carousel of specialist medical review, expert lung function testing, inhaler technique, smoking cessation, and research opportunities. Group education covered aspects of disease management and symptom recognition, exercise and physiotherapy to manage symptoms. The patient ended the session with feedback and bespoke self-management plans, supported with a written MISSION passport.
