ARTICLE COLLECTIONS

We are pleased to introduce curated collections featuring all published articles from the CJRT archives related to a selected topic of interest to RTs. The CJRT will be announcing a new article collection every 3 months. For our third quarter of 2018, we have created a collection on the topic of Emerging Practice - check it out today at under the "Article Collections" section.

CALL FOR PAPERS – Emerging Practice

We invite respiratory therapists, as well as our interprofessional colleagues, to submit research exploring the role new and innovative cardiopulmonary practices play in expanding coverage, improving quality, and containing costs in healthcare. Submissions on the topic of emerging practice may:

• Focus on unique, emerging, and expanding roles of respiratory care practitioners in health care environments.
• Demonstrate interventions that are new, innovative, promising, and safe, yet have limited discussion in the literature.
• Respond to changing and evolving healthcare needs, including responses to an ageing population, healthcare worker shortages, or advancing models of care such as precision medicine.
