2. Progress Summary Since Learning Session 1 Modification and implementation of CQN form Establishment of office “protocols” Standardized form for asthma medication refills during phone triage Team acceptance/familiarization of NAEPP Guidelines Utilization of AAP, NCH teaching/education tools, asthma action plans Increased use of spirometry with acceptable and reproducible results

3. EQIPP Trends

4. % of Patients > 5yrs in which spirometry is scheduled or results obtained in the past 1-2 years

5. % of Patients who have an Asthma Action Plan explained to them at this visit

6. % of Patients With Optimal Care

7. Validated instrument Reasons identified for lack of control Stepwise approach Flu shots Education materials

12. Key Learnings  Identification of asthmatics at time of visit is crucial  All team members buy in and participate for “optimal care”  Willingness of MD’s, NP’s and LPN’s to learn  Consistency and standardization is key to success  Small changes over time  Importance of asthma rechecks  Registry would help

13. Barriers and Successes No EMR No registry Time/workforce constraints Patient non-compliance Providers slow to institute changes Improved identification of asthmatics Engagement of office Standardization of care, education, teaching, PFT’s Increased use of diagnostic spirometry Increased parental satisfactions Improved care

14. Future Plans Registry and EMR Continued education of staff by RT, asthma educators Strive towards meeting established goals
