Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is considered a multisystem disease, in which
comorbidities feature prominently. COPD guidelines recommend holistic assessment and management of relevant
comorbid diseases but there is limited information as to how this is best achieved. This pilot study aimed to
explore the views of stakeholders, including patients and the healthcare team, on the feasibility, acceptability and
barriers to a collaborative, multidisciplinary team-based care intervention (‘TEAMcare’) to improve health outcomes
in COPD patients, within the context of a local hospital outpatient clinic.
