Improving pediatric asthma care and outcomes across multiple hospitals.
This study aimed to assess the impact of an evidence-based care process model 5 years after implementation at Primary Children's Hospital, a tertiary care facility, and after its dissemination to 7 community hospitals. The intervention resulted in sustained, long-term improvement in asthma care and outcomes at the tertiary care hospital and successful dissemination to community hospitals.

Planning for action: the impact of an asthma action plan decision support tool integrated into an electronic health record (EHR) at a large health care system.
This project aimed to embed an electronic asthma action plan decision support tool (eAAP) into the medical record to streamline evidence-based guidelines for providers at the point of care, create individualized patient handouts, and evaluate effects on disease outcomes. Its findings supports existing evidence that patient self-management plays an important role in reducing asthma exacerbations.
