Jeffrey Borkan, MD, PhD, was quoted in the Providence Business News regarding the Memorial Hospital’s involvement in the Chronic Care Sustainability Initiative (CSI-RI)  which will support a new Patient Centered Medical Home initiative in the Family Care Center (link to clinical/family care center). Memorial is one of eight sites statewide, and home of the only participating residency-based Family Medicine practice.
“The monthly stipends are meant to pay for doctors, nurses and other staff in the practice to work together to coordinate patients’ care, make sure they’re on the right medications, set up educational programs, analyze data from their electronic medical records, and more.
“That makes a big difference, Borkan said, and it also helps that through CSI-RI, Memorial is getting access to expert resources and to colleagues with the same vision, doing the same kind of work. Initial studies of medical-home projects, he noted, show ‘this is not something you should try to do on your own, but as part of a collaborative.’” |

If you're a smoker even if you quit years ago that could be the case. Or maybe your job exposed you to a lot of smoke or fumes, or youve had serious illnesses. Either way, you may have irreversible tissue damage, the beginnings of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder.
