A Manual for Pulmonary Rehabilitation
This “Manual for Pulmonary Rehabilitation In Australia: Evidence Base and Standards” provides a comprehensive review of evidence relevant to pulmonary rehabilitation as a support for pulmonary rehabilitation practice and management in Australia.
A Pulmonary Rehabilitation Toolkit has been developed to assist new practitioners and administrators, and to enable continuous quality improvement for established programs.
Lung Foundation Australia with the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) and Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) helped in the development and implementation of the suite of tools supporting management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which currently includes evidence-based practice guidelines for COPD (known as ‘COPD-X’), a diagnostic algorithm, a COPD-Checklist, COPD Action Plans, the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Toolkit, and this Manual.
