3 months immediately before the education event. Charts of patients with a primary respiratory complaint will be reviewed so evaluate if they 1) have experienced 3 or more suppurative respiratory infections and 2) have required 3 or more courses of antibiotic therapy for respiratory infection over the period of one year. 4) Whether or not they underwent a HRCT, and if so, and 5) Were the patients diagnosed with BE.

3 months immediately after the education event. An active assessment will be preformed as per the proposed diagnostic algorithm (attachment B) Patients that meet all criteria in the algorithm are considered at risk for bronchiectasis and based on these criteria, physicians will be encouraged to order HRCT, and the number/ proportion of patients identified with BE will be noted and compared to the other time periods.

As respiratory illnesses are commonly seasonal, an assessment of rate of Bronchiectasis diagnosis during the months of Period 2 in the year prior to the educational intervention will also be assessed as described in Period 1

The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of primary care physicians in diagnosing BE and evaluate the impact of an educational intervention targeting those primary care physicians and providing instruction in the recognition and treatment of BE. The hope is that a better understanding of the disease will result in more accurate diagnoses and ultimately in more appropriate care for these patients. In addition to better care for patients, earlier recognition of bronchiectasis may result in a decrease in health care costs.

The primary outcome for this study will be the number/proportion of patients that meet entrance criteria that are subsequently diagnosed with bronchiectasis.

Secondary outcomes are the number/proportion of those subjects that undergo HRCT, and the number/proportion of subjects that are then identified as having Bronchiectasis.
