Respiratory Care In Alternative Sites

To meet the demands of care at alternate sites such as pulmonary rehabilitation centers, subacute care facilities or the home, respiratory care practitioners must become multi-skilled and cross-trained. This text will teach students how to meet the needs and demands of care at these alternate sites. It includes information on health care reform, managed care and its impact on health care delivery, a review of coding procedures for billing, current JCAHO standards for respiratory home care accreditation, protocols for respiratory home care and a discussion of subacute care and practical aspects of patient education.
