Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Disease Management Comprehensive care delivered by designated nurses and pulmonologists, in collaboration with the primary practitioners and other healthcare professionals in the community	Other: Pulmonary disease management Comprehensive pulmonary care including patient education of self-care, coordination of care, monitoring of patient adherence, providing advice in acute exacerbations
Active Comparator: Unual care Care delivered by the primary practitioner with the advice of a consultant pulmonologist	Other: Usual care Pulmonary disease is managed by the primary practitioner and a consultant pulmonologist

Detailed Description:

The aim of the present study is to test the efficacy of a comprehensive community disease management program in patients with unstable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma. The intervention is delivered by designated nurses and pulmonologists, in collaboration with the primary practitioners and other healthcare professionals at the community, in the Jerusalem and the Lowland District of Maccabi Health Services in Israel.

The main purpose is to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the use acute care and emergency health services for acute exacerbation of the lung disease.

Secondary objectives include the evaluation of the effect of the intervention on quality of life, physical function, pulmonary function test, depression and all-cause mortality.
