On this episode, I continue with the discussion on quality indicators for pulmonary rehabilitation program. It’s our responsibility, as health care professionals, to be continuously confirming that the care we provide is of high quality. This is a three part episode, where I discuss the paper published on quality indicators for pulmonary rehabilitation by the Canadian Thoracic Society. In this episode, I talk about the next five indicators, which focus on the exercise testing and training.
