- Title
CMS Ruling Could Expand RTs' Roles.
- Authors
Benjamin, Marian
- Abstract
The author reflects on the extended role among respiratory therapists (RT) due to the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) Certification in the U.S. According to the author, the role of a respiratory therapist that specialize in sleep medicine includes having an NBRC respiratory credential, maintaining signal integrity during a study, and applying proper therapy. She added that the expanded role can provide RTs who do not have sleep certification an opportunity to add their knowledge.
