General Process Outline Recognized Problem
Saw Disparities Asthma Hospitalizations? Asthma deaths in schools?
Triggered to find roots of problem thought to be multi-faceted Financial ability of families to pay Physicians’ abilities to diagnose, treat, educate, prescribe asthma patients Burden of one school nurse caring for so many patients Environmental triggers at home Lack of parental, patient, teacher, physician education about:
Asthma triggers Controller versus rescue meds
Learned about Community Resources Created Partnerships
Learned about Community Needs Created Project
Involved Resident Classes Prioritized Plan/Steps Continually Revised Plan Ensured Sustainability Measured Outcomes

Future Projects Needed
Inpatient Asthma Care in different hospitals? Funding in different hospitals?
Obtain Asthma care supplies & distribute? Advocate Health Insurance Plans to:
cover more medicines? To cover spacers? Expedite MediCal coverage? First med/spacer covered regardless of insurance coverage?
Flag all Charts of Kids with Asthma To ensure Action Checklist and Plan completed
Evaluate one year after project completed how outcomes have changed more/less MDIs in schools? more/less Action Plans?
