Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is a low-cost, high-value service that improves symptoms, function, and quality of life. Quality PR also decreases disability and the staggering cost of healthcare in chronic lung disease, yet is still underutilized. The AACVPR Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation Registry now represents more than 220 active programs, and contains more than 30,000 patient records. This registry continues to grow and help demonstrate the value of PR at a national level.
