The SPACE tool has been designed to help practices to identify patients with asthma, COPD or bronchiectasis that might benefit from a spacer in combination with their Pressurised Metered Dose Inhaler (pMDI).
Features:
This tool is available for use in England in EMIS and TPP SystmOne in clinical system searches in SNOMED CT. The tool will also be made available to practices in Wales, Scotland and NI using Outcomes Manager.
The development of the improvement tool has been funded by Trudell Medical UK Ltd. PRIMIS has retained editorial control and intellectual property rights for this audit tool.
PRIMIS does not share data with the medical devices or pharmaceutical industry. With prior agreement and only when specified within a joint working agreement, there may be pre-determined circumstances where aggregated, summative data only may be submitted. The purpose is to assess the success of the joint working initiative. Please note that this would never involve the reporting of patient or practice level data and would always be supported by a Data Sharing Agreement with the Data Controller (individual GP practices).
Enquiries can be made to Trudell Medical UK Ltd, and should be directed to achauhan@trudellmedical.co.uk
