Day Two - Saturday, July 29, 2017

COPD10USA is the fourth installment in a series of biennial conferences modeled after the successful COPD Conference Series held in Europe for the past 18 years. Founded by inter-national experts, Professors Robert Stockley and Sue Hill, the COPD Conference Series has helped thousands of clinicians and researchers improve the care of their patients living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease worldwide. Unlike other COPD conferences that

focus solely on the scientific and research aspects of COPD, the COPD Conference Series is designed to provide practical information for clinical management as well as the latest in clinical and basic research.

Accreditation StatementThis activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and the COPD Foundation, Inc. The Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Credit Designation StatementThe Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 13.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Respiratory TherapistsContinuing Respiratory Care Education (CRCE) credit will be applied for through the American Association for Respiratory Care, 9425 N. MacArthur Blvd, Suite 100, Irving, TX 75063.

Learning Objectives of the COPD10USA Conference• Describe the influence of smoking, environment and the microbiome on the development of COPD within the

individual and the impact of these factors on the global COPD epidemic.• Identify ways to increase awareness of the worldwide COPD epidemic and available COPD treatments for the general

public and patient populations.• Explain the diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatment protocols for COPD.• Define patient empowerment and identify three patient-centric approaches to equipping patients, their families and

their communities to address the COPD epidemic.• Evaluate the latest research in COPD (e.g., data related to diagnosis, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment,

diagnosis, pharmacological advances, new biomarkers and pulmonary rehabilitation) and its translational impact on COPD care delivery.

• Identify the most prevalent COPD comorbidities and strategies for addressing these via a multidisciplinary team and individualized treatment plan approach.

• Identify proactive COPD care practices – including improving care team coordination and communication, patient education (including self-management) and follow-up strategies – and opportunities for their implementation in your delivery of care.

• Identify essential elements of a readmissions reduction program for COPD patients and how they can be implemented in your health care organization.

• Explain the COPD care community’s progress and challenges within the current public policy and legislative climate.• Identify promising innovations in the care of COPD and its comorbidities.
