Distinctions
The Distinction in Clinical Respiratory Patient Management focuses on care by licensed Respiratory Care Practitioners (RCPs) or other qualified healthcare professionals for patients with acute or chronic respiratory conditions that can be monitored and managed outside a hospital environment. Emphasis is on a collaborative, team-based approach to assessment and ongoing treatment, disease management, and education. The goal is better clinical outcomes that reduce hospital readmissions, support activities of daily living, and enhance quality of life for the patient. Accountability is established through documentation of outcome-based measures, with the subsequent expectation of improving consistency of care and quality of life. This distinction must be achieved in combination with ACHC Home/Durable Medical Equipment (HME) Accreditation.
CM
The Distinction in Custom Mobility recognizes providers of custom mobility products who are committed to improving activities of daily living and health-related quality of life for clients/patients. Standards address the unique needs of clients/patients and focus on plans of care, goal and outcome monitoring, client/patient follow-up, and product adjustments or replacements, as needed, to proactively reduce or prevent complications and maintain or improve mobility and daily life. Emphasis is on improved service and responsive care to clients/patients with conditions requiring mobility support, including 24/7 access to support. The goal is to sustain client/patient activities of daily living and overall quality of life through ongoing assessment of needs, proactive goal setting, and documentation.
