Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation: an implementation study using the RE-AIM framework

Pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective intervention for people with chronic lung disease, with evidence for improvements in exercise capacity, breathlessness and health-related quality of life [1]. It is strongly recommended in clinical guidelines for the management of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [2] and there is growing evidence for its effectiveness in other respiratory conditions [3–5]. The majority of pulmonary rehabilitation programmes are centre based, requiring participants to attend an outpatient centre for every session of supervised exercise and education related to self-management [6].
