Key Learnings  Process is driven by Asthma CQN Questionnaire  Spirometry provides useful/essential information  Improved asthma treatment can be accomplished without disturbing office flow  Docs like it: professional satisfaction from solving problems  Parents like it:healthier child, stay in school, stay at work

Barriers and Successes Biggest barrier is fitting this process into an already busy office routine. Success/solution for us: Administer questionnaire whenever asthma medication use identified Review questionnaire to determine who needs an asthma visit Schedule an asthma visit and spirometry for a future date

Future Plans Create an abbreviated questionnaire Administer questionnaire whenever asthma medication use identified Review questionnaire to determine who needs an asthma visit Schedule an asthma visit and spirometry for a future date
