From Awareness to Action: COPD Guidance for In-Home Care Providers

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.
