Attention Directors/Managers: Cardiopulmonary Services
Subject: Development/Refining of Time Standards Fall Survey -
The AARC Uniform Reporting Manual is presently in the process of being updated and will conclude in late 2011 or early 2012. The AARC needs your assistance to help assure that the time standards reported in the 2010 AARC Uniform Reporting Manual are rock solid and unassailable. This can happen only if you have developed solid time standards, and contribute that information via surveys that will be conducted this fall. Please be on the look-out for, and participate in these all important surveys.

To Assist You: Free AARC Resources for Developing or Refining Time Standards To assist managers in the development and review of time standards for services, the AARC has created the Productivity and Time Standards and Development Resource Center. This resource will help to simplify development and selective evaluation and updating of existing time standards for respiratory therapy and other departments that might be under your direction; non-invasive cardiology, sleep laboratory services, hyperbaric medicine, and pulmonary rehabilitation services.
