Q. What is ACHC’s Distinction in Clinical Respiratory Patient Management?
A. Clinical respiratory patient management is the provision of managed care to patients with acute or chronic respiratory conditions. ACHC’s Distinction in Clinical Respiratory Patient Management (CRPM) focuses on care by licensed Respiratory Care Practitioners (RCPs) or other qualified healthcare professionals for patients with acute or chronic respiratory conditions that can be monitored and managed outside a hospital environment. Emphasis is on a collaborative, team-based approach to assessment and ongoing treatment, disease management, and education. The goal is better clinical outcomes that reduce hospital readmissions, support activities of daily living, and enhance quality of life for the patient. Reduce the risk of readmissions by choosing the right HME provider for your respiratory and cardio-respiratory patients.
