Article Synopsis
- Many care management programs for chronic lung disease fail to effectively reduce hospitalizations because they don't address the specific mechanisms causing them.
- The study examined the experiences of 22 patients with chronic lung disease who were hospitalized, focusing on common underlying issues that led to their acute exacerbations.
- Key findings included factors like difficulty managing symptoms at home, barriers to accessing healthcare, ongoing functional limitations, and mental health issues, which often existed long before hospitalization.
