Everyone breathes, and we take it for granted daily. With Respiratory Care Week underway, now is the time to consider hiring respiratory therapists for your hospital or medical facility. There is a significant need for them for people with various breathing issues due to chronic conditions like asthma and Covid complications. Here is why respiratory care is so critical and what we look for is the best candidate:
Why Respiratory Care Week?
The American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) sponsors Respiratory Care Week every year to celebrate the nurses, doctors, and respiratory therapists who make the lives of patients better who struggle with various breathing issues. The organization this week displays data and facts about breathing and how to improve people's lives.
Expertise in Breathing
We ask questions about the times they were on the job and what they learned during specific circumstances. There are many examples from discovering lung, breathing complications, offering treatment suggestions, examining a patient's chest physical exams, conferring with physicians, analyzing breath, tissue, and blood specimens, overseeing ventilators, and reacting to critical alarms for care.
Patient First Approach
WSi seeks candidates with a patient-first approach. How do they talk to people? Teaching patients and families about lung disease and other complications are essential. After looking over data, have they adapted to the latest information and considered all treatment options. Respiratory therapy is implemented in all health care venues including but not limited to: What decisions did they make and why regarding patient care?
Are They the Best Fit?
With 75% of respiratory therapists employed at hospitals, we know most client needs are related to that specific field. Do the individuals we are considering have the stamina to work in a hospital and juggle multiple needs of the client?
