Calculating Impact of Pulmonary Rehabilitation Provision Using PRIME Tool
The CSP Pulmonary Rehabilitation Impact Model on Exacerbations (PRIME) tool aids in evaluating the impact of pulmonary rehabilitation on COPD patients in England. Developed by Imperial College London, this tool estimates reduced exacerbations with PR completion. Follow step-wise instructions in the presentation to calculate the impact of PR provision to eligible COPD patients. Utilize the Excel spreadsheet tool available on the CSP website for data modeling and analysis.

CSP Pulmonary Rehabilitation Impact Model on Exacerbations (PRIME) tool How to calculate impact of PR provision to all the eligible COPD patients across England using the CSP PRIME Tool * *use the PowerPoint file in presentation mode to follow the instructions
Background The PRIME tool was commissioned by the CSP through the Physiotherapy Works programme. The work was undertaken by Imperial College London, with input from an expert steering group, and the model was launched in November 2017. Aim Format Assumption The PRIME tool aims to use available evidence and data to model the impact of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The PRIME tool is an excel spreadsheet embedded in the CSP website. It is freely available to anyone, members and non-members alike. The key assumption is that exacerbations are reduced by 36.4% when PR is completed by eligible patients with COPD.
Instructions Instructions Please follow the steps through the next set of slides to calculate impact of PR provision to all the eligible COPD patients across England from PRIME Tool ( England )* Launch the tool Start at the Results sheet * Based on the data as used in the development of tool ( see tool for further details)
Numbers if Pulmonary rehab is offered to only 15% of eligible population ( current scenario) S c r o l l d o w n Number of hospital admissions Number of exacerbations managed in primary care

Impact if Pulmonary rehab is offered to 100% of eligible population (proposed) S c r o l l d o w n Note Reduction in Number of hospital admissions Note Reduction in number of exacerbations managed in primary care
Impact of PR if offered to 100% of eligible COPD population Impact of PR if offered to 100% of eligible COPD population (note these numbers have been calculated by deducting figures from 15% referral scenarios and 100% referral scenario ) been calculated by deducting figures from 15% referral scenarios and 100% referral scenario ) (note these numbers have The model proposes the following: If every eligible COPD patient in England is referred to Physiotherapy-led pulmonary rehabilitation programme (the national benchmark for this is currently only 15%), annually patients and services will experience the following benefits: A reduction of 1/3 exacerbations A reduction of 150,924 exacerbations in this patient population, freeing up this number of appointments in primary care 26,633 avoided hospital admissions 106,532 hospital bed days saved (based on BTS/RCP National Clinical Audit Report 2015, average length of stay per COPD exacerbation admission = 4 days)
