Using Race-Neutral Equations to Interpret Spirometry: Information for Clinicians
This document provides information for clinicians about content in the Ontario Health COPD quality standard on the use of race-neutral equations to interpret and report spirometry.
Ocean HealthMap
The Ocean Healthmap is a comprehensive, map-based directory that makes it easy to search and access health care services. In collaboration with provincial health care systems, the Healthmap is actively maintained and updated, empowering providers to make more informed care decisions.
SCOPE
SCOPE (Seamless Care Optimizing the Patient Experience) is a virtual, inter-professional care team that connects primary care providers to specialists, hospitals, community care and mental health resources in real-time.
OTN
Virtual care helps people access the care they need when and where they need it. We work with our partners to find better value for Ontario’s publicly funded health care system.
eReferral
Electronic Referral (eReferral) simplifies the referral process by enhancing communication between primary care clinicians and specialists/organizations and enabling quick and secure referrals to be sent and received through an electronic platform.
RESPTREC Spirometry Course
The Spirometry course will teach individuals how to conduct quality spirometry including basic lung anatomy and mechanics, spirometry equipment, spirometry indications and contraindications, spirometry test procedures, criteria for acceptability and repeatability, bronchodilator responsiveness testing, spirometry office procedures, and basic spirometry interpretation.
CACPT Spirometry Certification
Spirometry Certification provided by the Canadian Association of Cardio-Pulmonary Technologists (CACPT). This certification is intended to improve the quality of Spirometry testing not only for those performing Spirometry Testing in a hospital setting, but in any other facility such as doctors’ offices, family health teams, and research labs.
