Brief Summary: One of the most cost effective intervention is to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations in the national health system These unnecessary admissions are increasing for several years reaching rates of over 30 in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD or heart failure at two months of hospital discharge There is scientific evidence suggesting that a multidisciplinary intervention consisting in controling disease and stress associated with disease and modifying eating habits could reduce the number of hospitalizations due to disease decompensation

The main objective of the study is to assess the rate of readmissions at year of multidisciplinary intervention in patients with COPD and or heart failure

We will select 144 patients who will be randomized to two groups control and intervention group and they will be followed for 12 months through 4 visits 1 month 3 months 6 months and 12 months of hospital discharge

Patients assigned to the intervention group will be receive three educational sessions one of them will be imparted by nursing another by the nutritionist and the last one by the psychologist In addition patients with a BMI 20 and or 30 will receive a closer monitoring by the nutritionist

Patients assigned to the control group will receive usual care in clinical practice
