In this episode of RTMatters, we’re joined by Dr. Robert Joyner, PhD, RRT-ACCS, FAARC, Director of the TidalHealth Richard A. Henson Research Institute in Salisbury, MD. With years of experience directing and coordinating clinical research studies, Bob shares valuable insights into the importance of basing respiratory therapy practices on strong clinical evidence—especially as the healthcare system transitions to value-based care.
Bob and host Patrick Dunne explore how respiratory therapists can advocate for evidence-based protocols within hospital committees and work alongside physician leaders to improve patient care. They dive into the hierarchy of clinical research evidence, from expert opinion to prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and the critical role of eliminating bias and peer review in ensuring the credibility of research.
Bob also discusses the different types of clinical research reviews—systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and scoping reviews—and addresses why many RTs are hesitant to engage in research. Despite the initial challenges, Bob emphasizes that research becomes more manageable with practice and can be incredibly rewarding.
The episode concludes with a brief discussion on the potential impact of A.I. in healthcare, particularly in RT practice, with plans to explore this further in future episodes.
