RAPID · Respiratory Acceleration Pathway for Identification & Diagnosis

After a respiratory event, the next visit matters.

RAPID connects people who have had an acute respiratory event to the right clinician quickly, so conditions like asthma and COPD are found and managed sooner.

Objective
Make guideline-recommended follow-up the standard after every acute respiratory event.

What it involves

Awareness campaigns and Implementation Support Programs.

Under RAPID, awareness campaigns bring patients, families and partners together around what's changing in care, and Implementation Support Programs find what works and scale it rapidly.

Know a gap we should test?Identify a gap

Campaigns can be sponsored: sponsors fund reach and content, never conclusions. Events and publications are promoted, not sponsored. Implementation Support Programs are sponsored separately and follow a defined protocol. Sponsors may help identify implementation challenges, populations or outcomes of interest. Design, governance and evaluation stay independent. How we stay independent
