Official Title: Identification of Patients With a Diagnosis of Bronchiectasis: Evaluation of an Educational Intervention

Brief Summary: A study of an educational intervention of primary care practice physicians to assist in the identification of patients who have Bronchiectasis and to assess the effectiveness of the specific didactic educational intervention targeting primary care physicians in the recognition of Bronchiectasis.

Detailed Summary:

A pilot study will be conducted for the purpose of evaluating an educational intervention (Description in Appendix A). As part of the educational intervention, primary care physician(s) will be trained in the use of an algorithm to guide assessment of patients seen with a respiratory chief complaint, and who have not previously been identified as having a diagnosis of BE. We propose an evaluation of three primary care practice(s) to compare the number of patients identified in three three-month periods as having a diagnosis of BE.

The evaluation periods will be as follows: Period 1) the three-month period immediately following the intervention, Period 2) the three-month period immediately preceding the intervention, Period 3) the three month period starting one year prior to the intervention.

Current Primary Outcome: Number / Percent of BE patients [ Time Frame: 18 months ]

The primary outcome for this study will be the number/proportion of patients that meet entrance criteria that are subsequently diagnosed with bronchiectasis.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: HRCT patients [ Time Frame: 18 months ]

Secondary outcomes are the number/proportion of those subjects that undergo HRCT, and the number/proportion of subjects that are then identified as having Bronchiectasis.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
