Improving Asthma Management: Continuing Education and Technical Assistance for Health Professionals Improving Asthma Management, a series of eight continuing education sessions, is designed to bring you the most up-to-date information for successful asthma management in the primary care setting and enable practices to have a significant impact on improving asthma management for better patient outcomes. Whether you decide to schedule one program or the entire series, your practice will identify improvements the practice wants to make from among evidence-based best practices recommended in the 2007 National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Expert Panel Report 3 Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma. Examples of changes provider practices have been able to make include increasing the use of asthma action plans, routinely assessing for environmental triggers and exposures, diagnosing work-related asthma, scheduling follow-up asthma visits, increasing flu shots and more. This is an exceptional opportunity to make the kinds of improvements that will benefit both providers and patients. This 8 part series offers: Asthma Guidelines for the Way You Practice Asthma Management Tools: Gizmos and Gadgets Asthma Medications Spirometry Control of Environmental Factors that Affect Asthma Asthma Education: Using the Toolkit Asthma Management Should Not Be Complicated!
Documentation: Implementation New or Revised Encounter Forms (for sites with Centricity only)
We suggest starting with the Asthma Guidelines and then choosing other sessions that fit the needs of the practice. Lunch will be provided.
