• Timely Management of Pulmonary Issues
Same- or next-day consults for COPD/asthma exacerbations, pneumonia, hypoxemia, fluid-related dyspnea, mucus plugging, and post-exacerbation follow-up. Oxygen titration, secretion management, and standardized rescue bundles.
•CPAP & BiPAP Programs
Bedside setup and mask fitting, adherence coaching, download review, and protocol-driven pressure titration. Troubleshooting for leaks, dryness, intolerance, and nocturnal hypoventilation.
•Ventilator Management (Invasive & Non-Invasive)
Evidence-based weaning pathways, alarm optimization, ventilator-associated complication prevention, and coordinated goals-of-care discussions.
•Tracheostomy Care & Decannulation
Candidacy assessments, cuff-deflation and capping trials, speaking-valve integration, secretion and swallow strategies, and safe decannulation protocols with family and staff education.
•Respiratory Therapy Protocols & Oversight
Bronchodilator and oxygen protocols, bronchial hygiene pathways, RT competency checks, and monthly in-services tailored to your patient mix.
•Readmission Reduction Program
48–72-hour pulmonary intake for new/high-risk residents, early deterioration triggers, telepulmonology backup, and tight handoffs to clinic within 7 days of discharge. Proven track record in decreasing avoidable readmissions and ED transfers.
•Team Education & Quality Improvement
Case reviews, skills labs, and concise data dashboards (utilization, transfers, LOS, and adherence) so leaders can see progress at a glance.
