Abstract
The purpose of this Quality Improvement (QI) project aimed to develop and implement an asthma toolkit with up-to-date education, tools, and resources to become readily available for pediatric primary care providers to use when caring for children with asthma. Project objectives relate to the following PICOT question: In a pediatric primary care clinic (P), how does the implementation of standardized educational resources (C) compared to current clinical practices affect changes to the assessment, documentation, and management of asthmatic patients as well as provider confidence (O), over a 6-week time frame (T)? The primary objectives of the project include: 1. A 10% increase in the documentation of asthma action plans to ensure that each patient has a clear and actionable plan for managing their asthma. 2. A 10% increase in the use and documentation of the Validated Asthma Control Test to accurately assess and monitor asthma control, leading to more informed and effective treatment decisions. 3. A 10% increase in specific asthma ICD-10 codes to ensure precise diagnosis and documentation, moving away from unspecified asthma codes. These objectives are designed to improve the accuracy of asthma management and documentation, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and more effective asthma control strategies.
