You work hard to give quality care to patients and residents every day. And to do that, you need the right respiratory resources. Here are five steps to establishing a robust respiratory program:

  1. Help prevent respiratory illnesses by establishing a vaccination program for children, adults and seniors
  2. Teach your staff and patients effective infection prevention techniques to prevent the spread of disease
  3. Incorporate point-of-care diagnostic testing within your medical practice, pediatric facility, nursing home, long-term care and other medical facilities to help reduce hospitalizations from respiratory diseases
  4. Develop a roadmap to respiratory season success
  5. Revise your inventory plan to ensure you have products available to provide treatment, whether at the point-of-care or through your HME

We understand the importance of providing quality respiratory care to your patients, and we have the products and services to help you get what you need to care for patients.
