Inhaled corticosteroid prescribing in a pediatric emergency department: Sustained success and prescription filling rates.

CONCLUSIONS: The ICS prescribing rate remained the goal of 75% over a 2.5-year period after transition to a low-intervention phase. High ICS fill rates immediately after ED visit have been demonstrated. However, rapid decline in these rates over subsequent months suggests a need for future efforts to focus on long-term ICS adherence among children with ED visits for asthma.
