Asthma and COPD: A Payer's Perspective

Course overview

This course introduces healthcare professionals to best practices for managing adults with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), two leading causes of disability, rising healthcare costs, and preventable hospitalizations in the U.S. The focus is on early-stage recognition, patient education, self-management support, and cost-effective strategies to prevent disease progression and exacerbations. Through evidence-based guidelines and patient-centered care models, participants will learn how to individualize action plans, address social and behavioral determinants of health, and improve overall patient outcomes while reducing unnecessary healthcare utilization.
