What About Bob?
“What About Bob” is Home HealthCare Today’s new column, featuring news you can use from Bob McQuown, a seasoned RT. It will feature news stories, products, reader questions and info, all from the perspective of a fellow Home Healthcare Warrior. Dear Fellow Homecare Colleagues, My name is Bob McQuown and I am the Manager of Clinical Resources for Applied Home Healthcare Equipment located in Westlake, Ohio. In future issues of Home HealthCare Today, I would like to see this space used as an informational platform. It will feature some of our product lines, and areas of interest as to what is happening in the Homecare industry. I would also like to give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on key industry topics or maybe you would like to pass on a success story that could benefit others. The goal is to provide you with a format that will be useful to you. A little about me: After 42 years in Respiratory Therapy, I recently retired from the Cleveland Clinic, where 10 years ago, I started a Durable Medical Respiratory company. This was a respiratory only business. Oxygen, aerosols, CPAP devices, suction machines, and cough assist devices made up the majority of the business. We did not do hospital beds or bent metal. We started with approximately 200 patients. In our first month of business, we received 44 new referrals. Ten years later, the patient count had grown to 16,327 active patients. We were growing at a rate of 350 to 400 new patients
