Abstract
Prevalence of COPD in the United States is rising, yet many people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) diagnoses do not have diagnoses. In Vermont 18% of adults are current smokers and 27% are former smokers. The lack of provider and nurse training regarding indications, mechanism, interpretation and benefit of spirometry have limited it's use. Spirometry is recommended for both asthma & COPD diagnoses and management, and may provide better disease management.
