Abstract

Cystic Fibrosis is a life-limiting disorder that affects many organ systems, but primarily the lungs.  In Cystic Fibrosis, the loss of chloride transport causes airway mucus obstruction, leading to chronic airway infection and inflammation.  Airway Clearance Therapy is essential to the care and treatment of patients with Cystic Fibrosis.  The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate how the use of a Multidisciplinary Care Pathway can improve care delivery and Airway Clearance Therapy.  At a large academic medical center, Airway Clearance Therapy increased by 50% over a three quarter period following the implementation of a care pathway.
