From Awareness to Action: COPD Guidance for In-Home Care Providers
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive, incurable condition that affects breathing and quality of life. Nurses and other in-home waiver providers play a key role in early detection, symptom management, patient education, and care coordination. This course offers an overview of COPD—its symptoms, progression, risk factors, and treatment options—along with best practices for documentation, symptom identification, and communicating exacerbations to the case manager.
This course meets the requirements for (1) hour of credit toward the Ohio Department of Medicaid’s (ODM) required 6 hours of continuing education for Non-Agency Personal Care Aides (PCAs).
