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.
