Document recent spirometry results to categorize severity (GOLD 1-4) for targeted intervention.

Record the number of hospitalizations and oral steroid bursts required in the last 12 months.

Administer the CAT (COPD Assessment Test) or mMRC dyspnea scale to establish a functional baseline.

Record resting SpO2 and document any exertional desaturation for patients requiring LTO2.

Document baseline phlegm color and volume to help AI tools identify early signs of infection.

Verify patient can perform a full inspiratory maneuver for their specific DPI, MDI, or SMI device.

Confirm the patient has and uses a spacer for MDI medications to improve lung deposition.

Audit pharmacy records to identify gaps in maintenance LAMA/LABA adherence via automated tracking.

Ensure the patient has an unexpired SABA available at all times and knows when to use it.

For home nebulizer users, review cleaning protocols to prevent secondary respiratory infections.

Configure automated monthly check-ins to monitor CAT score changes and symptom progression.

Program AI to flag 'Yellow Zone' symptoms like increased cough or phlegm for immediate nurse triage.

Schedule automated voice or SMS links for device refresher training every 90 days.

Use AI outreach to coordinate annual flu and multi-year pneumococcal vaccine scheduling.

Automate calls to check tank levels and concentrator filter function for supplemental oxygen patients.

Identify current smokers and enroll them in automated counseling and cessation support programs.

Monitor for peripheral edema or sudden weight gain indicating fluid overload in overlap patients.

Screen for breathlessness-related panic attacks using the GAD-7 tool to reduce ER visits.

Verify if the patient has completed or is a candidate for pulmonary rehabilitation services.

Screen for OSA symptoms which frequently complicate COPD management and nocturnal saturation.
