This trial is testing a new digital health tool designed to help identify patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who need follow-up care after a serious flare-up that sends them to the emergency department or hospital. The tool aims to make sure patients get the right specialist care and support they need after going home. Researchers want to see if this tool improves patient outcomes and reduces problems after a flare-up.
Many patients with COPD don't receive proper follow-up care after a serious flare-up, which can lead to more emergency visits and hospitalizations. This study exists to find out whether a new digital system can help doctors identify and reach these patients faster, so they get the support they need when they go home.

If you join, your medical records and information from your emergency department visit or hospital stay will be reviewed as part of the study. Some participants will be followed prospectively, meaning researchers will track your follow-up care and outcomes going forward after the digital tool is put in place at your hospital. Other participants will have their past medical records reviewed to compare how patients were cared for before the tool was introduced. The study does not require you to take a new medication or make major changes to your regular care.
