Short or long end of the lever? Associations between provider communication of the "asthma-action plan" and outpatient revisits for pediatric asthma.
This study addresses the gap in understanding the extent of leverage that healthcare providers may have in preventing hospital revisits for asthma through effective communication of the Asthma-Action Plan (AAP) in the outpatient setting. The Children's Hospital of Georgia survey results suggest limited potential of effective provider communication of AAP in reducing outpatient revisits for pediatric asthma and indicate a need for broader community-based interventions to address patient life variables impacting self-management and hospital revisits for pediatric asthma.

Parent preferences for communicating with their adolescent's provider using new technologies.
The researchers assessed the views of parents of adolescents on various means to communicate with their adolescents’ physicians about vaccine reminders and appointments, medication refills and test results including phone, mail, e-mail, text messages, and personal health records (PHR). They found that young parents of adolescents are most likely to accept text message vaccine reminders; suburban parents prefer e-mail reminders. Personal health records are accepted generally by those parents who are younger and suburban.
