Brief Summary

This study aims to compare the impacts of two versions of a continuing education activity targeted at COPD case managers on educational outcomes: 1) participation; 2) satisfaction; 3) learning; 4) competence; 5) performance; 6) patient health outcomes.

Conditions

Lung Diseases, Obstructive

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Performance

  We will videotape patient education intervention delivered by attendees in their professional practice and will assess the quality of the delivered patient education intervention using a set a pre-defined criteria.

  2-month post-intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Satisfaction

  Immediately post-intervention

• Learning

  Prior to and 1-month post-intervention

• Competence

  Prior and immediately post-intervention

• Patient health outcomes

  4-month and 10-month post-intervention
