Disease Management for Asthma

Author: The National Pharmaceutical Council
Asthma, one of the first disease management targets, is often selected for managed intervention because high-cost patients can be easily identified via their frequent medication refills, consistent clinical practice guidelines and validated outcome measures are available that can help assess the effectiveness of the interventions, and educational interventions have been developed to help improve the behavior of both patients and health care practitioners. This bibliography presents 69 studies demonstrating the impact of educational interventions on asthma treatment and management.
