Acceleration
Pathway for
Identification &
Diagnosis
70% of patients who experience a respiratory event never connect with a specialist.
RAPID
THE CASE FOR CHANGE
People presenting to Urgent Care or the Emergency Department with respiratory symptoms are often stabilized and discharged without specialist evaluation, diagnostic testing, or coordinated follow-up.
❋ EARLIER IDENTIFICATION
Patients with respiratory disease are frequently treated but not recognized.
❋ COORDINATED REFERRAL
Most patients leave UC/ED settings without specialist follow-up.
❋ FASTER DIAGNOSIS
Diagnostic testing and pulmonary evaluation occur too late.
❋ BETTER OUTCOMES
Earlier diagnosis enables earlier treatment and improved outcomes.
