Profound Flight’s Chronic Management
About us and why we do it
Profound Flight Healthcare Management & Consulting was founded with a single mission: to be the most effective at improving the health of our client who suffer from the progressive nature of COPD and CHF. As therapists and nurses, we have, over our decades of experience, become weary of the failures of our current healthcare system in regards to how we prepare our patients for self management. Years of cost cutting have all but eliminated the kind of comprehensive education and therapeutics critical to successful COPD management our patients deserve. We know we can do better in preparing and supporting our clients to competently self manage and increase quality of life. Our unique experience in acute care allows us to understand why our patients repeatedly return to the hospital, most in life threatening respiratory failure. If you are willing to learn, the solutions are simple, and can slow down the progression of COPD and CHF.
Knowledge is Power. Gain the knowledge.
The Chronic Approach to Respiratory Therapy
“Innovate and Strengthen”
Hospital Therapist are primarily “acute” focused, ie respiratory distress, failure, mechanical ventilation and treatment. Very little of their time, in comparison, is dedicated to prevention and strengthening of respiratory mechanics. Although there may be some education and instruction on how to manage COPD and CHF, it is far from comprehensive. “Chronic“ focused therapy is primarily preventive and comprehensive. Licensed Respiratory therapists have the practical expertise, and we utilize industry researched solutions to provide cutting edge approaches to improving quality of life in patients who suffer from these chronic conditions. This type of innovative practice is becoming obsolete in areas where therapist are more focused or utilized as “acute” therapists. Patients who are without comprehensive education and therapeutics delivered by a therapist with a chronic approach to their practice are more likely to end up in the ER, than patients who do by nearly 70%. We work with your doctor, your homecare nurse, caretaker, and your family as therapeutic consultants to help you achieve sound self management.
The Comfort of Continuum Support
“Better support, better outcomes”
The importance of profound Flight’s Continuum support is realized in the improvement of your knowledge and compliance. Following your progress as well as the prevention of type 3 exacerbation, and subsequent hospitalization is key in our approach. More than just “rehabilitate”, we find ways to improve your breathing and mobility. After onboarding, we continue support, so that you can better grasp the simplicity of your management, and to easily recover from type 1 & 2 exacerbation. When managing episodes becomes difficult, typically during the fall and winter months, our continuum care program provides subsequent visits to provide therapeutic recovery consultation, and prevent if possible, another trip to the hospital.
