Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect and effectiveness of the nurse-led integrated care programme for the management of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) exacerbations on patients' quality of life, rehospitalisation and exacerbation rate, illness-related emotional distress, selected health behaviours and cost-utility at three months. Furthermore, understanding barriers and facilitators to implementation success is of interest.

| OTHER | Integrated Care Model | The patients who are hospitalised due to a COPD exacerbation will be aligned to a nurse-led integrated care model for three months. The model constitutes a bundle of interventions that are commonly known as key elements in COPD management. In addition, the ANP-Team (Advanced Nursing Practice-Team) will coordinate the different health professionals within the hospital and across transitions within the three months. |
