This journal article is available at Research Online: http://ro.uow.edu.au/smhpapers/1542 Can nurses successfully diagnose and manage patients with COPD? An editorial invited by the PCRJ Draft of 2 February 2014 Authors: Elizabeth Halcomb RN, PhD, University of Wollongong, NSW Email: ehalcomb@uow.edu.au , Luis Torre-Bouscoulet, MD, INER (Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias), Mexico City, Email: luistorreb@gmail.com ; Paul Enright (The University of Arizona, retired, email: lungguy@gmail.com ) COPD is a highly prevalent chronic disease which can cost a country hundreds of millions (Euros, pounds, or dollars) per year. So it seems appropriate for as much of the diagnosis and care of patients with COPD to be managed by the most cost-effective health care providers as possible whilst maintaining quality outcomes [Fletcher 2003, Nici 2011]. The important study of Strong and colleagues in this month's issue of the PCRJ [Strong 2014] examines a step forward in this process. In addition to the usual care system for patients with COPD, the city of Rotherham, England also has a specialist nurse-led respiratory care centre called “BreathingSpace”. This service is led by a respiratory nurse consultant and has a team of nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy staff providing outpatient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of COPD. The authors evaluated the accuracy of a diagnosis of COPD from over 1200 consecutive patients referred to Breathing Space from the 36 general practices in the city. Around half of these patients were referred for pulmonary rehabilitation. About one in five patients did not have airway obstruction on pre-bronchodilator spirometry testing, indicating that the primary care provider's diagnosis of COPD was incorrect. There was poor agreement between the airflow obstruction grade recorded on the referral and that based on spirometry. Patients referred by a practice nurse were more likely to have been correctly classified when compared to patients referred from a general practitioner (GP). A similar study of the ability of practice nurses to correctly perform spirometry and diagnose COPD was recently completed in 36 GP offices in Sydney, Australia [Bunker 2012]. Of 287 patients given a diagnosis of COPD by the practice nurse, about one-third did not have COPD according to a review and repeat spirometry done by the project officer (a pulmonary subspecialist).
