Respiratory diseases• Kill more than 1 in 4 people in the UK1
• Most common form of chronic illnesses1
• “Strategies aimed at preventing admissions and instituting supportive environments in the community ….would dramatically improve the availability of beds for unplanned episodes of care’’2
• COPD is the only 1 of the top 5 causes of death that is still
rising3 and costs over £900m /yr in direct costs alone4

• Very many assumptions with data but• Using Telecare+ staff for most alerts and a CDM
/respiratory nurse back-up
…could save around £1000 /patient/yr….after a big initial outlay in money and time
• Approximate cost savings of Pulmonary Rehab1

Other lessons?• Phone and power sockets far apart• Non BT telephone providers• Many have mobile phones only• Instructions on equipment!• Pulse oximeters!
•Changing patient behaviour is difficult•Changing staff behaviour is much more difficult!

Other lessons?• Clinicians will remain sceptical until RCTs
(well meaning managers can be driven by political pressures or led by Industry)
• Need an installation / technical support team that is NOT clinical
• Start with simplest technology and small numbers of motivated (and stable?) patients
