4 Questions to Be Addressed How will patients receive healthcare services in the future? How will respiratory therapy be provided? What knowledge, skills and attributes (KSAs) will respiratory therapists need to provide care safely, efficiently and cost-effectively? What educational and credentialing systems are needed to provide these KSAs? How do we get from the present to the future with minimal impact on the respiratory therapy workforce?
5 Conferences to Address Questions Conference 1 March 2008 focused on identification of the emerging values of our nation s evolving health care delivery system and defined the potential roles and responsibilities of the respiratory therapist in 2015 Conference 2 May 2009 focused on the skills, knowledge and attributes that RT s in 2015 and beyond will need to possess in order to execute their roles and responsibilities and to identify the competencies required. Conference 3 Summer Forum July 2010 focused on addressing the question How do we get from where we are today to where we ll need to be in order to adequately prepare for 2015 and Beyond with minimal impact on the workforce.

New models of healthcare delivery (such as the Hospital at Home and Medical Home ) will emerge with increasing emphasis on coordination of care through the healthcare system including the home Public health issues, military and disaster response concerns will continue and require new skill sets for respiratory care providers
12 Current Status of RC within the Healthcare System RC is an important and integral part of health care Most RC provided in the acute care setting COPD 12 to 14 million diagnosed, another 12 million undiagnosed, 4 th leading cause of death, billion cost of care Asthma 22 million diagnosed, annual cost 19 billion, 4,000 5,000 die each year OSA still essentially undiagnosed, estimate 18 million affected, 6 million moderate to severe disease, impact of OSA on other systems still immerging Needed skills Education, protocol use, preventative care, risk factor modulation, disease self management, smoking cessation
