COPD Action Plan (RTF template)

The COPD Action Plan from Lung Foundation Australia is a tool designed to help individuals living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) manage the early signs of a flare-up (exacerbation), to help reduce the risk of a severe exacerbation or hospital admission. 

Easily integrate the COPD Action Plan into medical software 

To help healthcare professionals implement the COPD Action Plan into their daily clinical workflows, Lung Foundation Australia has developed specialised Rich Text Format (RTF) files. These files are specifically optimised for Australia’s leading general practice and primary care software systems, including: 

  • Best Practice (Bp Premier) compatible template. 
  • MedicalDirector compatible template. 
  • Communicare compatible template. 

Each template is professionally formatted for seamless integration with the designated software. This enables efficient and accurate data entry while ensuring that patient care documentation remains consistent across the clinical team. Using native medical software templates significantly reduces manual data entry and helps clinicians stay within the patient record during a consultation. 

Convenient access in a single download 

The templates and their associated import instructions are provided in a convenient ZIP file. This makes it easy for busy practices to access the appropriate resource for their specific system. Once the file is downloaded, a practice manager or clinician can quickly upload the RTF template into their software database and begin using it during patient consultations immediately. 

Why use these medical software templates? 

Integrating these digital templates into your practice offers several key benefits: 

  • Streamlined workflow integration saves valuable consultation time by keeping the clinician within the patient record. 
  • Auto-population of patient demographics and current medications simplifies the documentation process and reduces the risk of manual entry errors. 
  • Clinical alignment with the latest COPD-X guidelines is made easier through structured prompts and fields. 
  • Improved patient outcomes are supported by providing a professional, easy-to-read self-management plan that boosts patient confidence.
