Respiratory Care Coordination: Building Respiratory Support Throughout the Care Management Team

About This Course

Presented by the AARC Ambulatory and Post-Acute Care Specialty Section.

This presentation will highlight the role that RTs can play in the post-acute setting. As the experts in lung disease we are well positioned to play a critical role in the assessment, education and management of patients with lung disease. These patients range from children with asthma through older adults with COPD. With an RT coordinating, outcomes can be improved, patient satisfaction increased and the cost of care decreased.  Join us as our presenter shares her experience in a successful program to manage patients in the community setting.

Successful completion of this course requires a score of 70% on the post-test.
