Rehman H, et al. – Study authors attempted to pilot test a simple, telephone–based health–coaching intervention that was recently shown to decrease readmission among hospitalized COPD patients and stable COPD patients eligible for pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). They suggested that a telephone–delivered motivational interviewing–based coaching program for COPD patients is a feasible, well–accepted, simple, and novel intervention to improve the well–being of patients with COPD. This pilot study provided insight into a possible alternative to a conventional PR program for patients with limited access to that program.
