ABOUT THE CJRT

The CJRT is a peer reviewed, open access journal, owned by the Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists (CSRT), published by Canadian Science Publishing, and indexed in PMC (PubMed Central). We strive to publish manuscripts that describe effective interventions that increase access to and quality of clinical respiratory health interventions, including the organization and delivery of care in hospitals, the community, and throughout the continuum of care by health care providers. Our goal is to generate evidence and discussion to support more effective and equitable access to respiratory therapy and care for patients in Canada and around the world. While many of our contributors are respiratory therapists, we welcome submissions from all related health professionals and researchers.

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.

Submissions are due May 1st, 2019
