Point-of-service outcomes data and its effect on asthma treatment: a salmeterol pilot investigation
Abstract:
Outcomes data have enabled physicians to have a much more complete overview of the patient's quality of life and health than their predecessors. One medical center has sought to develop a comprehensive point-of-service outcomes measurement tool for the assessment of patients with asthma. This information may provide a real-time overview on a desktop computer system of the patient's progress. A pilot project involving a therapeutic intervention in patients with asthma was conducted to test the utility of this outcomes tool in a practice setting.
