RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 A Team-Based Approach to Providing Asthma Action Plans JF The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine JO J Am Board Fam Med FD American Board of Family Medicine SP 247 OP 249 DO 10.3122/jabfm.2012.02.110145 VO 25 IS 2 A1 Kaferle, Joyce E.

YR 2012 UL http://www.jabfm.org/content/25/2/247.abstract AB Background: National guidelines for treatment of asthma include recommendations for providing written asthma action plans (AAPs) to improve outcomes through patient self-management. However, AAP completion rates remain limited in practice. Methods: We developed a team-based approach for the delivery of care to asthma patients in a primary care setting that involved integration of an electronic clinical quality management system and provision of written AAPs by registered nurses. Results: The percentage of patients with AAPs increased after implementation of clinical reminders and nurse-led provision of written AAPs. Conclusion: Proper training, use of an electronic clinical reminder system, and enhanced engagement of registered nurses can improve AAP completion rates in a team-based primary care setting.
