A requirement for an RTDP to be successful is that the protocol should be evidence-based practices and that respiratory care services are effective and can offer benefits to patients. In this regard, the coal of respiratory care protocols is to optimize the allocation of respiratory care services by Prescribing to each patient treatments likely to confer benefits and avoiding those that do not. Consistency among RCPs is crucial for positive outcomes of RTDP. Physicians must be able to trust that the care provided under protocols is safe for their patients. They must trust that all respiratory therapists can consistently and intelligently follow the protocols! RCPs should have knowledge of anatomic alterations of the lungs caused by common respiratory diseases, major pathophysiologic mechanisms activated in the cardiopulmonary system, common clinical manifestations that result from pathophysiologic mechanisms, and treatment modalities used to correct the clinical manifestations.
Protocols improve the allocation of respiratory resources by reducing misallocations such as over-ordering, reducing costs, and the care the patients receive will be enhanced by providing quality care. RCPs play an important role in the prevention and management of respiratory diseases. RTDPs help facilitate effective management of the care patients receive, in turn creating positive outcomes.
