Primary Care Pathway for Childhood Asthma

Installing a primary care clinical pathway for managing childhood asthma into clinicians' electronic medical record (EMR) to facilitate the use of best-evidence by practitioners.

Physicians will receive web-based education through an interactive learning module regarding best management for childhood asthma and use of the primary care clinical pathway. Chronic disease management (CDM) health professionals in practices will attend asthma education sessions delivered by an asthma educator. This training will be then used by the CDM professional to provide targeted and timely asthma education to parents and children with asthma.

An EMR embedded dashboard will deliver real-time feedback to clinicians.
