Summary

Background/Aims There is evidence indicating that deployment of forced spirometry (FS) testing in a collaborative scenario, encompassing respiratory specialists and community professionals, generates healthcare efficiencies. The study describes the roadmap for regional implementation of the FS program in Catalonia (ES), from January to December 2016.

Methods/Design Firstly, the FS program will be deployed in three healthcare sectors (514 k inhabitants), following Plan-Do-Study-Act iterative cycles, using the Model for Assessment of Telemedicine for evaluation purposes. Thereafter, regional deployment of the FS program (7.5M inhabitants) will be conducted. The third step considers: evaluation of transferability, preparation for data analytics and recommendations for long-term assessment of outcomes. Main components of the FS program are: i) Automatic quality testing; ii) Standardized data transfer to a shared electronic health record; iii) Elaboration of individual FS reports including historical results; and, iv) Clinical decision support systems providing access to the FS report, and to remote support upon request.

Discussion/Conclusions The project constitutes the first attempt to scale-up a collaborative scenario for FS testing that will open new avenues for longitudinal lung function assessment. Moreover, the setting shows high potential for transferability to different sites and to other diagnostic procedures.
