Interprofessional Pulmocheck care pathway: An innovative approach to managing pediatric asthma care in the Netherlands.

CONCLUSIONS: The specialty pediatric asthma care pathway revealed a high number of children with newly diagnosed asthma, but was also helpful to exclude this diagnosis. However, the referral rate of GPs to this pathway was low, but in the children, that were referred several changes in the clinical management were advised and the frequency of monitoring of the children with diagnosed asthma was not in accordance with the asthma guidelines.
