Summary

Guidelines development, their implementation and the physicians' adherence may have an impact on the occurrence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbations and patient's quality of life. We have developed an educational program based on a checklist to assist general practitioners in managing COPD patients. The results of this trial based on electronic health records from BIG DATA databases, such as the electronic health record (EHR) of patients from the National Health Found, associated with checklist, will be directly applicable to primary care in Poland and add new data to the growing body of evidence on interventions to improve chronic illness care and patient's quality of life.
