The Respiratory Therapist as Disease Manager
Sinopsis :
The Respiratory Therapist as Disease Manager serves as a
concise, yet informative, knowledge base for disease
management in the practice of respiratory therapy. Written for
both students and practicing clinicians, this a foundational
resource for the Respiratory Therapist who desires to augment
their acute care and technical skills with a knowledge base that
will enable them to competently perform the duties of a
Pulmonary Disease Manager. Fully equipped with case
management, patient-education, and self-management
content, there is no other textbook like this on the market. The
Respiratory Therapist as Disease Manager promotes the
concept of behavioral modification in patients through
education in conjunction with counseling. Education in and of

itself is necessary but not sufficient to increase a
patient&#8217ability to manage their chronic disease and thus
optimize their quality of life. A more advanced knowledge of
chronic respiratory diseases, such as pulmonary hypertension,
is presented and focuses on those aspects of each disorder
which are relevant to the practice of disease management,
such as epidemiology, clinical considerations, and patient
education as well as counseling. Factors that are essential to
disease management, such as patient adherence to treatment
regimens, are discussed as well as specific strategies to
resolve self-management inadequacies. The Respiratory
Therapist as Disease Manager fills the void of the respiratory
therapy curriculum where disease management will be a core
competency.
