AHC Recognized for Respiratory Care
Advanced Home Care has been named a 2010 Quality Respiratory Care Provider by The American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC). This is the second consecutive year that Advanced Home Care has received this honor.
The American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) started the Quality Respiratory Care Recognition (QRCR) program in 2003 to help consumers make informed decisions about their health care. The program initially enrolled hospitals that agreed to ensure patient safety by adhering to a strict set of criteria governing their respiratory care services. Home care organizations were added to the program a year later, and the Association has also added long-term care facilities. The aim of this program is to ensure that residents cared for by home care organizations have access to respiratory care services provided by qualified respiratory therapists.
Recognized organizations are listed on the AARC's consumer Web site, http://www.yourlunghealth.org/.
