Requirements for Pulmonary Function Testing in Social Security Disability Evaluations

In progress

Topics

The Social Security Administration has requested the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to review the latest published research and science and produce a report addressing best practices and known limitations in the use of pulmonary function testing procedures and devices to measure pulmonary or lung function in connection with SSA disability evaluations. The committee will focus its report on spirometry and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) testing.
