  • Title: Assessment of the effect of asthma education on outcomes.
    Author: Hopman WM, Owen JG, Gagne E.
    Journal: Manag Care Interface; 1999 May; 12(5):89-93. PubMed ID: 10537484.
    Abstract:
    Community asthma care centers have been introduced to meet the increasing need for community-based assessment, management, and education of patients with asthma. The Asthma Education Centre at Oakville-Trafalgar Hospital, in Ontario, Canada, has implemented a comprehensive assessment, treatment, and education program with a collection of relevant patient data. The findings presented in this article suggest that these specific education and treatment programs are associated with not only significant reductions in the use of health services, but improvements in health outcomes as well.
