Asthma

Clinical Decision Support
Through a short series of intuitive screens, the Point of Care Asthma™helps the clinician:

• Assess asthma severity (for patients not currently being treated) or control (for patients who are being treated)
• Determine most appropriate step (e.g. the level of therapeutic aggressiveness) to initiate therapy or to modify therapy
• Select a guideline-recommended treatment plan for that step
• Select medications to be used for daily control, for that treatment plan
• Select medications to be used for quick relief
• Select oral corticosteroids to be used in case of exacerbations
• Determine time until next visit.

Administrative support
Point of Care Asthma™ is a time-saver!  It automatically generates documents:

For the clinician:

1. A template for an asthma visit progress note, that can be copied and pasted into other documents
2. A list of the medications selected, along with instructions for use, for easy ordering

For the patient:

1. A one-page, color, asthma action plan, with images, phrases and words tested for comprehension by patients with limited literacy.  The AAP is currently available in both English and Spanish.
2. A list of suggestions for avoiding asthma triggers.  Available in both English and Spanish.
3. A template for a consent form to be shared with a child’s school, day care provider, or other authorized agent, giving permission for the child to carry and use medications outside the home.
