The investigators' goal for this project is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and actual usage of a multimodal, individualized program of care for patients with COPD recently discharged from hospital with an acute exacerbation. The program will combine elements of existing standards of care at two institutions, Toronto Grace Health Centre and University Health Network, with emerging technologies.
The investigators want to determine whether the program is considered appropriate and useful to both patients and health care providers, and whether it is feasible to implement. The investigators also want to determine whether it is feasible to conduct a large-scale randomized control trial of the program. The investigators will also explore whether each intervention reduces re-admissions to hospital.
