What is a remote RRT?

A Remote RRT, or Remote Registered Respiratory Therapist, is a licensed healthcare professional who provides respiratory care services to patients via telehealth or remote platforms. These professionals assess, monitor, and manage patients with respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and COVID-19 from a distance. They utilize digital tools and communication technologies to collaborate with patients and healthcare teams, ensuring quality care regardless of location. Remote RRTs may work for hospitals, telemedicine companies, or home health agencies, helping to expand access to respiratory therapy services.
