HOW OUR TEAM CAN HELP
The UMass Chan RHO Team helps follow-up clinics implement recorded home oximetry utilization as the standard management strategy for weaning home oxygen in the outpatient setting. Our team has extensive experience and expertise weaning home oxygen therapy and can help mentor and guide the implementation of RHO at the individual site level and across institutions.
The RHO Program has engaged many key stakeholders from payer groups, national and regional home care companies, oximeter manufacturers, and most importantly families of infants on home oxygen therapy to guide the implementation of this safe and effective management strategy.
