Summary

This trial will use a multi-component strategy to increase adoption of virtual care services (VC) for COPD management through VA's Annie texting program, with the goal of making VC more accessible and easier to use.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for US Veterans who are users of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), have been diagnosed with COPD, can communicate in English, and own a text-enabled phone. It's not open to those who've already taken part in research preparing for this intervention.
What is being tested?
The study is testing VC-OPTIONS, an approach designed to increase virtual care use for managing COPD. It involves sending information through VA's Annie texting program to educate patients about virtual services available for their condition.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention focuses on education and communication via text messages rather than medical or drug treatments, there are no direct physical side effects associated with participating in this trial.
