Video Runtime: 52 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 35 Minutes
This course is meant for rehabilitation professionals working with patients with obstructive lung disease and will provide an overview of the commonly seen obstructive lung diseases. Risk factors and causes will be presented, as well as explanations of how the diseases progress, including a discussion of the diagnostic testing and medical management of the diseases. In addition, determining severity of the obstructive disease and prognosis will help clinicians accurately select interventions and prescribe exercise safely in all practice settings. Fully understanding obstructive pulmonary diseases and their progression is often beyond entry-level education. This course will apply the pathophysiology of obstructive lung disease to a case study to be able to choose appropriate interventions.

There is a lack of pulmonary rehabilitation programs across the country to provide adequate care to all the patients with pulmonary deficits. In addition, due to the pulmonary deficits seen in many patients post SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as the limitation in the number of outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation centers, many outpatient physical therapy clinics are creating programs designed to treat patients with pulmonary disease. Due to the fragility of these patients, clinicians are seeking further education for the management guidelines for this patient population. This course will discuss the purpose of pulmonary rehabilitation, specific Medicare requirements for pulmonary rehabilitation, staffing, examples of structured programs, billing, and logistics. This course will provide answers to frequently asked questions and will include information on telehealth, home health, and other patients with pulmonary disease who do not meet Medicare requirements for pulmonary rehabilitation. After this course, clinicians will have the necessary information to be able to start programs in their clinics.
