Summary

This trial looks at an intervention to get HIV+ patients better, evidence-based care for COPD. The intervention makes it so that specialist support primary care providers who manage HIV+ patients. This way, better care can be given in real-time to patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for HIV+ patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who are treated by outpatient infectious disease providers at one of the seven local sites in this study. It excludes those with significant cognitive dysfunction, language barriers, or severe psychiatric disorders that impair survey and interview participation.
What is being tested?
The study tests a proactive E-consult system where pulmonologists give real-time, tailored advice to infectious disease physicians managing HIV+ patients with COPD. This aims to improve care quality without relying on traditional referrals.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an e-consult intervention rather than medication or invasive procedures, typical medical side effects are not expected. However, there may be indirect effects related to changes in patient management.
