Reducing Diagnostic Error to Improve Patient Safety in COPD and Asthma (REDEFINE Study)

Initial visit for the intervention group, an initial demographics form and health questionnaires. To evaluate the breathing, a pre and post broncho dilator will be performed as well as a spirometry test.

The post broncho dilator spirometry test will be preformed after a breathing medication called Albuterol. Albuterol is used in standard practice for COPD and is commonly used during spirometry.

At the end of the 1 year followup, the patient will be scheduled for a pre and post BD spirometry test and undergo the same spirometry protocol as the intervention group.
