Summary:Despite effectiveness and clear international guidelines, respiratory rehabilitation remains underutilized: less than 15% of suitable patients in France and worldwide receive this treatment. The factors of this lack of referral and uptake have been studied and are not limited to a problem of quantitative adequacy of supply and demand. The lack of knowledge of health professionals, patients, payers, heterogeneous programs which does not necessary correspond to the needs of the patient (modalities, geography, duration), the lack of trained and available professionals, the profile of patients and prescribers and the quality of the programs are identified as potentially hindering the completion of a rehabilitation program. It is essential to analyze these barriers and to find solutions to the greatest number of respiratory patients can benefit optimal healthcare and integrate into a coherent care planning.
