Summary

This trial will evaluate if virtual visits can improve care transitions for COPD patients, reducing hospital readmissions and medication safety events.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 40 or older who have been hospitalized with a COPD exacerbation and are part of the COPD Hospital Readmission Reduction Program. It's designed to help those at high risk for readmission and medication issues.
What is being tested?
The study tests a telehealth intervention called TELE-TOC, which includes virtual visits and pharmacy-based in-home support after hospital discharge, aiming to improve medication use and health outcomes in COPD patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on education and telehealth services rather than medications, there are no direct side effects like you'd expect from drugs. However, technical issues or miscommunication could potentially occur.
