初级保健肺活量测定服务可由训练有素的初级保健工作人员、周边专科服务或通过转介到医院或实验室肺活量测定提供。这些选项中的第一个是本标准文档的重点。它旨在为临床医生、管理人员和卫生保健专员提供详细信息，说明初级保健中诊断性肺活量测定所需质量的关键领域————包括培训要求和质量保证。这些提案和建议旨在提高初级保健中肺活量测定和呼吸诊断的标准，并推动讨论、改进和维持初级保健中肺活量测定诊断（而不是筛查）的质量。因此，本文件应挑战目前的表现，并应构成提供这项服务的理想指南。
Primary care spirometry services can be provided by trained primary care staff, peripatetic specialist services, or through referral to hospital-based or laboratory spirometry. The first of these options is the focus of this Standards Document. It aims to provide detailed information for clinicians, managers and healthcare commissioners on the key areas of quality required for diagnostic spirometry in primary care--including training requirements and quality assurance. These proposals and recommendations are designed to raise the standard of spirometry and respiratory diagnosis in primary care and to provide the impetus for debate, improvement and maintenance of quality for diagnostic (rather than screening) spirometry performed in primary care. This document should therefore challenge current performance and should constitute an aspirational guide for delivery of this service.
