Involving Community Pharmacies in Improving Asthma Outcomes in an Urban Pediatric Population

"Participants randomized to Enhanced Pharmacy Care will have their prescriptions electronically transmitted or faxed to one of the five participating pharmacies.~Pharmacists will then provide real-time, targeted education around the purpose and use of the new and refilled ICS medications to study participants and their families at each point of contact, including rationale for their use, device teaching, dosage review, and importance of compliance. Families randomized to enhanced care will also be contacted monthly by phone and mail with reminders to fill their controller medications prescriptions and to seek ongoing longitudinal asthma care with their primary care providers."
