Abstract:
At least 18 million people in the United States have asthma. Despite the publication of national guidelines, the delivery of care has not substantially changed. This article describes a program at Chicago city sites to improve the delivery of care to adults and children with asthma. Using consistent comprehensive patient education materials, innovative provider education, and a variety of continuous quality improvement interventions including creation of a designated practitioner, this project enhances partnership between patients and health care providers.
