【 摘 要 】

Registered respiratory therapists (RRTs) aid in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory illness and cardiopulmonary disorders, conditions that are increasingly being managed in settings other than the hospital sector. However, analysis of a longitudinal data set of Ontario's RRTs (2,903) from 1996 to 2007 demonstrates that the majority of RRTs work full-time in the hospital sector, where retention is high. Despite a policy direction encouraging the shift of the site of care from the hospital sector to the community/home, this has had little impact on where RRTs work, raising the question of who is providing respiratory services in the community.
