Abstract

ABSTRACT

A new method of delivering patient care was implemented on a Critical Care Unit when it was discovered that a large percentage of patients required respiratory care. A task force redesigned staffing to include a Respiratory Care Practitioner (RCP) and a patient/housekeeping aide. It was found that 67% of tasks could be delegated to RCPs, so an intensive inservice concentration on delegating skills was provided for all.
