Helping Your Patients Help Themselves
Although we now have extensive tools and means to help most patients keep their asthma under control, many if not most patients do not follow their medication and asthma management recommendations, leading to a high rate of asthma emergency visits across the US.
In this section we provide information and tools all in one place to help you offer the best asthma treatment and education for your patients.
Encouraging patients to participate actively in a partnership is the first step to improving their ability to understand and maintain a treatment plan. Ensuring that your patients receive key information at the appropriate times in their treatment, and reinforcing their confidence and skills each time you meet will go a long way toward helping them manage their asthma over the long term.
