Provision of STOT on discharge increased from 26.7% to 44.4%. Re-admission to hospital within 28 days of discharge for patients with STOT decreased from 25% in 2009 to 12.5% in 2011.<br \/>\nConclusion: Since the introduction of the CRD NP MOC there has been an increase in patient assessment for STOT, provision of STOT, reduction in hospital re-admissions, improved adherence to procedure protocols, improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the hospital.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Toni Hall<\/li>\n<li>Robert Champion<\/li>\n<li>Kathleen Tori<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>home oxygen therapy, COPD, hypoxia, discharge, nurse practitioner<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Home oxygen therapy assessment for COPD patients discharged from hospital: Respiratory NP Model of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4490,3879,4489,4491,3953],"class_list":["post-7438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-copd","tag-discharge","tag-home-oxygen-therapy","tag-hypoxia","tag-nurse-practitioner","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
