Clinical pharmacists can enter into a formal collaborative practice agreement with another healthcare provider, generally one or more physicians, that allows pharmacists to prescribe medications and order laboratory tests.

Pulmonary rehabilitation, also known as respiratory rehabilitation, is an important part of the management and health maintenance of people with chronic respiratory disease who remain symptomatic or continue to have decreased function despite standard medical treatment. It is a broad therapeutic concept. It is defined by the American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society as an evidence-based, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive intervention for patients with chronic respiratory diseases who are symptomatic and often have decreased daily life activities. In general, pulmonary rehabilitation refers to a series of services that are administered to patients of respiratory disease and their families, typically to attempt to improve the quality of life for the patient. Pulmonary rehabilitation may be carried out in a variety of settings, depending on the patient's needs, and may or may not include pharmacologic intervention.

IF I understand aright, this association was organized that representative medical men from different sections might come together and, from their different views and experiences, endeavor to determine the therapeutic value of the various localities which have been alleged to have the power of arresting or curing chronic diseases of the respiratory organs, and to discuss their ætiology, pathology, and treatment. If I had been present at its organization I should have advocated giving it a broader scope, and including in our studies diseases of the vascular system and the therapeutic value of our mineral springs.
