Abstract
This project demonstrated that the needs of people with COPD are not being met. Care for people with advanced COPD has been focused in the acute care setting, with some community support but this has been shown to be inadequate in meeting the day to day and palliative care needs of people with COPD. Application of the chronic disease management model to include people with COPD, with a new level of integration of a palliative approach at all phases of the illness, should be reflected in health policy.
