This live webcast will provide primary care clinicians with a practical, guideline aligned approach to improving COPD care, including earlier and more accurate diagnosis through consistent spirometry use and optimization of inhaled therapy. It will highlight targeted and appropriate use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), including how to identify patients unlikely to benefit and how to minimize ICS-related risks. The activity will also review standardized strategies for managing exacerbations, emphasize high value non pharmacologic interventions—particularly pulmonary rehabilitation, inhaler technique education, and adherence support—and outline coordinated, cost-conscious care pathways, including appropriate pulmonology referral and careful selection of advanced therapies such as biologics for those patients most likely to benefit.
