Description
2023 MRFF Primary Health Care Research
The Multidisciplinary Team and Primary Care Pulmonary Rehabilitation program in Primary Care (MDT-PuRePrimary Care) directly addresses the core aim of the Primary Health Research Initiative to increase Australia’s evidence base through research that improves service delivery and health outcomes for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We propose to implement two evidence-based strategies that will improve access to general practitioner-led multidisciplinary team care including nurse case-management and improved
access to allied health delivered pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for people with COPD. The implementation of these strategies will improve the management of COPD, improve health outcomes for people with COPD and in turn
reduce the pressure on the hospital system. Our project will focus on the health of the priority populations of people experiencing diseases of ageing and with our rural partners, people living in rural and remote areas.
