The proposed comprehensive IPF home care programme consists of: 1) improving patient's quality of life (autonomy, activity, emotional well-being and symptoms), 2) reducing the number and severity of side effects associated with the anti-fibrotic drug, 3) reducing the number of hospitalisations attributable to the disease, and 4) providing a rapid response to any problem associated with the disease (after diagnosis or progression) that may cause distress or require early action.
Homecare patient support program especially designed for covering IPF patient needs, implemented for 12 months, for improving quality of life
