About This Course
Capacity strain in the context of Respiratory Care may be defined as excessive demands on resources or abilities. Provider capacity strain is associated with increased mortality, longer lengths of stay, decreased adherence to protocols and worsened outcomes. Given current Respiratory Care staffing challenges and complex workflows, understanding elements of capacity strain and implementing methods to compensate for strain reduce service variability and support value-based efforts.
Successful completion of this course requires a score of 70% on the post-test.
