Serving the Patient
Training
A nationwide network of licensed healthcare professionals provides patient training on The Vest® Airway Clearance System. With the patient in the home or over the phone, the trainer:
- Reviews prescribed protocol
- Emphasizes the role of airway clearance in disease management
- Employs methods for encouraging therapy adherence
Each patient is offered the choice of training in the home or via telephone. Either way, the patient receives comprehensive instruction on equipment use and assistance with initial treatment.
Improved Quality of Life
Patients who use The Vest® System report a high level of satisfaction with its use and the positive effects on their quality of life. They often feel better because they don't have to struggle to breathe and feel less fatigued. Decreased use of intravenous antibiotics, fewer respiratory infections and less hospitalization means that users of The Vest® System feel better and are able to participate more fully in activities of daily living. The resulting satisfaction with therapy leads to increased adherence, which can lead to better health outcomes.
