The Canadian Respiratory Guidelines Committee (CRGC) has developed respiratory clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) implementation tools to reach a broad multidisciplinary cohort of physicians and other respiratory health professionals.
These tools are currently being distributed to health care professionals across Canada via the Canadian Respiratory Journal (CRJ) and Canadian Family Physician (CFP), website postings, targeted mail outs, conferences and individual shipments on request.

The report examines recent Canadian COPD data and reveals that COPD exacerbations result in more hospitalizations than other major chronic diseases, including heart failure, angina and diabetes. These hospitalizations place a great burden on patients, reducing their quality of life, and place strain on the Canadian healthcare system.
The COPD Toolkit© website is a Canadian on-line repository where all health care professionals involved in COPD management can access, share, evaluate, develop and refine resources for COPD management. The Tools are currently used in the LiveWell™ Chronic Disease Management Program conducted in the Saskatoon Health Region and range from PowerPoint presentations for patient education to referral forms to flow sheets for COPD management.
This poster was designed as a tool to initiate discussion between physician and patient about treatment options and management of COPD.
