Outcomes from a pilot patient-centered hospital-to-home transition program for children hospitalized with asthma.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a multi-component hospital-to-home (H2H) transition program for children hospitalized with an asthma exacerbation. A pilot prospective randomized clinical trial of guideline-based asthma care with and without a patient-centered multi-component H2H program was conducted among children enrolled in K-8(th) grade on Medicaid hospitalized for an asthma exacerbation. The investigators concluded that the pilot data suggested that comprehensive care coordination initiated during the inpatient stay was feasible and acceptable.

Rising utilization of inpatient pediatric asthma pathways.
The objectives of this study were to: 1) Describe inpatient pediatric asthma pathway design and implementation across a large hospital network and (2) Compare characteristics of hospitals with and without pathways. The investigators concluded that from 2005-2015, there was a dramatic rise in implementation of inpatient pediatric asthma pathways. They found variation in many aspects of pathway design and implementation.
