Association between the availability of registered respiratory therapists and healthcare utilization of people with COPD
Summary
Current evidence suggests there are significant positive outcomes associated with integrating registered respiratory therapists into non-traditional primary and home care settings. As part of a workforce planning initiative, the knowledge user seeks to correlate therapist location and employer type data to help identify the distribution of care and gaps in access to care. As a result, the knowledge user will also identify the needs of respiratory patients and contribute to the evidence-based system planning decisions on responsiveness to respiratory patient needs and available resources.
