This activity will explore care management strategies based on current evidence that can improve access and quality of care for patients with COPD.

Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

Describe how T2 inflammation plays a central role in COPD pathophysiology and common comorbidities
Summarize safety and efficacy for biologics used to manage patients with COPD
Assess payer care management initiatives and other opportunities to improve the quality of care based on current evidence from clinical trials and treatment guidelines
