About This COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) Study in Worcester

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious lung condition that affects millions of people in the United States. Each year, it leads to about 150,000 deaths, nearly 900,000 emergency room visits, and 700,000 hospital stays. When COPD symptoms suddenly get worse-called an exacerbation-it can seriously harm a person's quality of life and often requires emergency care. Treating these flare-ups early can help prevent hospital visits, but right now, there aren't many good ways to make sure people get care quickly. Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) programs send specially trained paramedics, guided remotely by doctors, to care for patients in their homes. This approach could help people with COPD get faster, more effective care without needing to go to the hospital. In this project, the investigators are testing a new program called PEACE (Paramedic Evaluation for Acute COPD Exacerbation). The PEACE program sends community paramedics to patients' homes-when needed and in partnership with their regular doctors-to manage worsening COPD symptoms early. The study team will adapt the PEACE program to meet the needs of adults living at home with moderate to severe COPD, gather feedback from patients and healthcare providers, and run a small pilot study to see if the program is practical and helpful.
