Asthma

These tools were developed by the National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality to improve the quality of care given by practitioners to pediatric asthma patients.  Some of the tools solicit parent and school involvement in monitoring asthma and the distribution of asthma medication.

 

In addition, many organizations have developed tools in the course of their improvement efforts — for example, successful protocols, order sets and forms, instructions and guidelines for implementing key changes — and are making them available on NICHQ.org for others to use or adapt in their own organizations. We invite you to submit tools you have found useful!
